Here is a professional-tone assessment of the upcoming earnings for AAPL (Apple) and AMZN (Amazon), including what to watch for, the potential for them to “turn the tide” of their recent under-performance, and my view on their trajectories. --- What to watch Apple For Apple the key items investors will be focused on: 1. iPhone sales and upgrade cycle – The strength of the current iPhone model and the upgrade momentum, particularly in major markets such as the U.S. and China, is critical. Analysts expect iPhone revenue for the September quarter of about US$50.1 billion, up ~8.5 % year-on-year.  2. Services growth – The App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, etc., remain important as higher-margin growth engines and stabilisers in slower product cycles. 3. Overseas / China performan

Buckle up, investors—Big Tech's earnings season is delivering gut punches left and right, but all eyes are locked on Apple and Amazon to flip the script. With Alphabet standing tall as the lone victor amid a sea of disappointments from Meta and Microsoft, the pressure is on these two giants to restore faith in the sector. Meta's shares cratered after ballooning AI costs overshadowed solid revenue, while Microsoft's cloud growth fell short, sending its stock sliding despite overall strong numbers. Alphabet, on the other hand, surged thanks to robust ad revenue and cloud momentum, proving not everyone's stumbling. Now, enter Apple and Amazon, reporting after the bell today—the potential catalysts to reverse the faltering tide. For Apple, the spotlight burns brightest on iPhone sales amid whi

I'm glued to my screens for Thursday's double-header—Apple and Amazon dropping earnings after the close. These are the two names I've been waiting on all season. Apple's riding an all-time high, but Amazon's been the MAG7 laggard, and that asymmetry is where I smell opportunity. Both have the catalysts to surprise, and I'm positioned to ride the breakout. Apple's iPhone cycle is the wildcard everyone's debating, but I'm not sweating unit sales alone. Services are the silent killer—App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay—all sticky, high-margin, and growing double-digits. China exposure? Overblown noise. Supply chain's stabilized, and if iPhone 17 demand beats the whisper, $300 is in play fast. I've been adding on dips below $220; now I'm letting it run. Amazon's the one I'm pounding the table on

$Apple(AAPL)$  already wave up. Bet it go down after earnings.  $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  laggard for so long, so I bet go up. Because money always rotate around the Mag 7. They make up 36% in weight of the SPX.  If AMZN goes down after earnings, Call me. I go buy.

Apple Earnings To Watch: iPhone 17, Greater China, Services Global consumer electronics giant $Apple(AAPL)$   is set to report its FY25Q4 earnings after the market closes on Thursday, October 30. With its market capitalization just a step away from the $4 trillion club, the market is optimistic about a sustained recovery in earnings growth. Option Market Signals With Apple's Q3 earnings report scheduled for October 30th, the derivatives market is painting a picture of confident optimism, a stark contrast to the high-anxiety pricing seen elsewhere in the tech landscape. The most telling metric is the Put/Call Ratio, which has fallen to a robustly bullish 0.67. As the stock's price has climbed steadily since

$Apple(AAPL)$ hits new highs, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ might create a new lows, I think it might be a good time to look at the breakdown of the situation, along with how one might think about “options plays” (literally options contracts) on Amazon. We have both Apple and Amazon releasing their quarterly results on 30 Oct. So this might be the time to look at the situation, myself have both Apple and Amazon in my portfolio, so I will be sharing how I intend to play option for Amazon. What’s Going On With Apple Strengths Apple just hit an all-time high, driven by strong early sales of the iPhone 17, particularly in the U.S. & China. Technicals appear bullish: breakout from a “pennant” pattern, golden cross (5

Big-Tech’s PerformanceMacro Headlines This Week:The week's macroeconomic narrative was dominated by two prominent headwinds. First, the government shutdown has led to data blackouts and heightened risks around policy implementation. Second, external risks—particularly those tied to US-China trade tensions—have re-entered the market's line of sight. Declining employment confidence signals potential further softening in consumer spending. Overall, the path to a "soft landing" for the economy feels increasingly fragile, leaving policymakers and markets alike in a holding pattern, awaiting the next data release or policy move.The Fed finds itself caught in a tug-of-war between its "eagerness for monetary easing" and the "harsh reality of shaky data." While markets are pricing in more rate cuts

🍏 Apple Smashes New Highs — But Is the Real Alpha Now in Bottoming Amazon? The market’s two most-watched titans — Apple ($AAPL) and Amazon ($AMZN) — are pulling in opposite directions. Apple’s soaring to fresh all-time highs while Amazon quietly struggles near its multi-month lows. Momentum vs. Mean Reversion. Safety vs. Value. Traders are asking: Which one truly holds the next leg of alpha? --- 🍏 1️⃣ Apple: The King That Refuses to Cool Down Apple’s rally has turned heads — and wallets. Several Wall Street firms, including Morgan Stanley and Wedbush, boosted their targets after iPhone 17 sales blew past early estimates. According to Counterpoint Research, iPhone 17 sales in the first 10 days post-launch are 14% higher YoY, driven by robust demand in both the U.S. and China. The base iPhon

It is a little concerning that Apple's current hype is due to improved sales in China, meanwhile stats have been out saying that China has been spending less over the recent Golden Week holidays. I suspect this rally will not last for long, not with the us president being so volatile and China having a stranglehold on their economy, Apple could very well be the next whipping boy if the president angers China further...

🌟🌟🌟It is amazing how Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ hit an all time high so quickly.  After years of muted refresh cycles,  it is finally time for Apple to shine overtaking  Microsoft for the first time this year in market cap. The iPhone 17 is the reliable heartbeat of the line up - powerful, polished and priced well  for Apple loyalists.  Then there is the iPhone Air with its ultra thin titanium frame, feather like feel and A19 Pro chip. Loop Capital raised its target to USD 315 while Wedbush reaffirmed USD 310.  Whispers of USD 300 no longer feels like fantasy.  In fact it feels like trajectory. If the iPhone Air takes flight especially in China where early demand is strong, it could be the catalyst that turns Q4 into

Apple’s year-end rally still has legs — but it’s entering a trickier phase. The iPhone 17’s strong sell-through, robust services growth, and record highs show solid momentum, yet valuation risk looms. With AAPL trading near all-time highs and investor expectations elevated, any hint of slowing demand or margin squeeze could trigger short-term consolidation. Still, its long-term story (AI integration, Vision Pro ecosystem, subscription flywheel) remains intact — so dips might stay shallow unless macro shocks hit. Amazon, meanwhile, looks more like a stealth opportunity. Its e-commerce margins are rebounding, AWS growth is re-accelerating, and cost discipline is kicking in. While Apple may consolidate, AMZN could play catch-up, especially if AI-driven cloud demand sustains. In short: Apple’
