đđŚ 8 Straight EPS Beats: Can Apple or Amazon Keep Dominating?
This quarter's duel between Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) is particularly fascinating.
Both companies have delivered 8 consecutive quarters of EPS beats, and revenue surprises in 7 of those. Now, all eyes are on whether they can extend their winning streak, or finally crack under pressure.
đ The Numbers:
-Apple ($Apple(AAPL)$ )
đ EPS Estimate: $1.43
đ Revenue Estimate: $88.96B
Track Record: EPS beats for 8 straight quarters. Strong pricing power, ecosystem stickiness, and potential upside from Vision Pro, AI upgrades, and India growth.
-Amazon ($Amazon.com(AMZN)$ )
đ EPS Estimate: $1.31
đ Revenue Estimate: $162.02B
Track Record: Also 8-for-8 on EPS. AWS stabilization, aggressive cost control, and Prime ecosystem scaling.
đ§ Who Has the Edge?
đ¸ Apple brings resilience. Its cash flow engine is unmatched, and any upside surprise in AI integration or emerging market growth could reignite the bull case.
đ¸ Amazon brings scalability. With AWS possibly past its trough and retail ops showing margin expansion, AMZN may have more upside surprise potential this quarter.
My View?
Amazon may win this quarter, but Apple remains the more defensive, high-moat, shareholder-friendly name for long-term compounders.
đź Strategy for Investors:
As someone who navigates earnings season with a risk-adjusted lens, my positioning includes:
-Core hold in $Apple(AAPL)$ for stability, dividends, and optionality on new tech
-Tactical plays on $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ for short-to-mid term outperformance and AI-cloud re-rating
