  • 102362254 : I'm leaning toward Amazon. I expect Amazon to get a boost from strong holiday sales, steady growth in its cloud business, and some cost-cutting, which should lift its revenue. Apple, on the other hand, might see slower iPhone demand and potential drops in iPad and Wearables sales, though its services side could help balance things out. As such, Amazon seems set for stronger results, and I'm guessing $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ might see the bigger % gain

  • Cingcangkeling : Betting on Amazon this time round. Personally think Apple is lacking behind competitors, and the recent product launch was not extraordinary (yet? *waiting for apple intelligence finale).

  • 104712493 : 1. Amazon's earnings prospects are influenced by several key factors:

    E-commerce Growth: The continued shift towards online shopping can drive revenue growth. Amazon's ability to capture market share in both retail and grocery segments is crucial.

    AWS Performance: Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a significant profit driver. Continued demand for cloud computing services can boost overall earnings, especially as businesses increasingly migrate to the cloud.

    Advertising Revenue: Amazon's advertising segment has been growing rapidly. As more brands seek to leverage Amazon's platform for marketing, this could enhance revenue.

    Subscription Services: Amazon Prime continues to attract subscribers, providing a steady revenue stream. Growth in this area can contribute positively to earnings.

    International Expansion: Expanding in markets outside the U.S. can provide new growth opportunities, though it may involve significant investment.

    2. Apple's earnings prospects are influenced by several key factors:

    Product Demand: The performance of flagship products like the iPhone is crucial. New product launches and consumer interest can significantly impact revenue.

    Services Growth: Apple's services segment, including the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple TV+, has been growing rapidly. This diversification helps stabilize earnings.

    Ecosystem Integration: Apple's ecosystem encourages customer loyalty. The seamless integration of devices and services can lead to increased sales across product lines.

    International Markets: Growth in international markets, especially in emerging economies, presents opportunities for revenue expansion.

    Supply Chain Management: Effective management of supply chain disruptions, particularly in light of global events, is essential for maintaining production and meeting consumer demand.

    Mac and Wearables Performance: Growth in Mac sales and wearables (like Apple Watch and AirPods) can contribute positively to overall earnings.

  • 1994CM : $Apple (AAPL.US)$ vs $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ both are excellent companies. Apple EPS is higher than Amazon, which means the investors are willing to pay more for Apple than Amazon. Amazon have a higher YTD % than Apple, which Amazon have a higher profit made in the beginning of the calender year than Apple. Amazon have a higher Year on Year Consensus revenue than Apple. Even though I have Apple shares in my investment portfolio, but I am leaning towards Amazon that they have a better Earnings preview than Apple. Amazon would have more % of investment gain in the long-term than Apple Inc. We will see what happens on 1st of November, 2024.

  • New93 : blah

  • 木头姐 : amazon

  • 刘伯温 : [undefined]

  • CasualInvestor : Apple (AAPL)

    • Limited New Product Cycles: Apple recently launched the iPhone 15, which, while popular, is seeing only incremental upgrades over previous models. The lack of groundbreaking new products limits immediate growth potential.
    • China Headwinds: Apple faces increased regulatory and market pressures in China, one of its largest markets. Any further restrictions or shifts in consumer preferences could affect iPhone sales and revenue.
    • High Valuation and Dependency on Hardware: Apple’s high valuation, paired with its reliance on hardware sales, could make it vulnerable to market fluctuations and a slowdown in consumer spending. While Apple’s ecosystem is strong, its growth might not be as explosive as AI-driven companies like Microsoft or Nvidia.

    Amazon (AMZN)

    • E-commerce Growth Moderation: Post-pandemic, e-commerce growth is stabilizing, and Amazon’s core retail business is seeing slower growth as consumers return to in-person shopping. This could limit near-term upside.
    • Cost and Investment Pressures: Amazon continues to invest heavily in logistics, AI, and cloud infrastructure, which adds to its operating costs. While these investments are strategic, they may weigh on short-term profitability.
    • Regulatory Scrutiny: Amazon faces increased regulatory scrutiny regarding monopolistic practices and worker conditions, which could lead to higher compliance costs or operational restrictions, adding an element of risk.

    Apple and Amazon may see modest benefits from rate cuts due to potentially increased consumer spending, but competition and mixed consumer demand are still challenges. Election-related regulatory shifts may also impact Amazon more significantly, especially if antitrust measures gain traction.

  • PowerUp : Apple products are eating old money, linen relies on cloud computing

  • 小丸子UP : Apple. Although I feel like amazon is better.
