Amazon 's earnings report on Tuesday evening will give investors insight into two of the biggest stories on Wall Street — the resilient U.S. consumer and the artificial intelligence boom. Wall Street is generally optimistic about Amazon, as more than 90% of analysts have a buy or strong buy rating on the stock, according to LSEG. Several other tech companies, including Alphabet , have already reported strong advertising numbers for the first quarter. "We increase our Amazon advertising outlook following the impressive 2H23 performance and encouraging industry checks. On a ~55% margin, Advertising [earnings before interest and taxes] moves from $26B in FY23 to $41B in FY26," MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Morton said in an April 22 note.

It also provides apps for merchants to sell directly on marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart, which are also building out AI additions for merchants. As part of the AI suite, Shopify launched AI app Sidekick, which helps sellers decide on inventory, promotions and marketing, lessening their dependence on third-party widgets. Analysts expect sales of Shopify's merchant products, which includes Shopify Magic, to increase 21% to $1.2 billion compared to last year, the first deceleration in four quarters. Shopify Magic is part of the company's long-term strategy to gain more merchants on its platform that will pay higher prices for its services. Shopify's subscriptions include Shopify Magic at no additional charge.

Student loan repayments are set to resume in October, and that means there will be fewer dollars in borrowers' budgets to order through DoorDash , according to MoffettNathanson. "Does the resumption of loan repayments introduce bookings risk to food delivery?" After three years, the Department of Education's Covid-19 relief pause for federal student loan borrowers is winding down. Student loan interest resumed accrual Sept. 1 and payments will be due in October. That means borrowers could be on the hook for $225 per month in average student loan repayments, according to estimates from MoffettNathanson.

Online retail giant Amazon's shares closed at a near one-year high and added more than $109 billion to its market value. "The second quarter is a game-changing quarter for Amazon; we would call it an-all clear moment," said SVB MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Morton. The surge in Amazon's stock reflected analysts' increased estimates for its earnings. But its services business was a bright spot and helped Apple top profit expectations for the June quarter.

Uber to steal a march on Lyft in resurgent rideshare market
  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Feb 7 (Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc's (UBER.N) revenue growth is set to outpace that of rival Lyft Inc (LYFT.O) as the rideshare firm's presence in major markets around the world gives it the heft to deal with inflationary pressures. Dara Khosrowshahi-led Uber operates in multiple regions and has over the years built a massive food and grocery delivery business, while Lyft has mainly focused on rideshare in the United States. "Lyft is on the losing end of Uber's mobility and delivery network effect ... in a world of increasing focus on profitability, Lyft does not deliver," MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Morton said. Analysts expect a fourth-quarter revenue increase of 19% for Lyft and 47% for Uber, according to Refinitiv data. "When we look at driver time spent data on a 2-year growth basis our concerns on Lyft losing market share are magnified ... we come away more concerned about Lyft's need to invest in incentives," UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley said.
