Amazon reported a record-breaking $22.6 billion in capital expenditures for the third quarter of this year, an 81% increase compared to the previous year. This spending on artificial intelligence, coupled with strong sales in everyday essentials, contributed to the company's 11% growth in total revenue and an operating profit of $17.4 billion, surpassing analysts' projections. Despite concerns about increased costs from new initiatives and services, Amazon's earnings forecast for the fourth quarter exceeded expectations. The company's success in diversifying its revenue streams, including the lucrative cloud computing business and advertising, has further solidified investor confidence.

Tesla's third-quarter results exceeded expectations and led to a boost in stock price. The company managed to reverse the decline in automotive gross margins and achieved strong growth in sales and gross profits in its energy generation and storage segment. However, overall growth is below the company's usual performance, and sustaining margins in the current economic environment might be challenging. Analysts have increased profit targets, but Tesla's valuation remains high compared to tech giants like Apple and Amazon. The success of Tesla's ambitious plans, such as producing Robotaxis and developing a humanoid robot, is uncertain. Tesla also faces challenges in regulatory approvals and competition in the EV market.

Amazon is extending Prime Day 2025 to four days amidst tariff concerns and slowing consumer enthusiasm. Targeting Gen Z, the event offers membership perks and anticipated major discounts. Rising costs and cautious spending may limit consumer splurges, with third-party sellers prioritizing profit margins over sales volume. While seeking to enhance sales, many sellers pre-stocked tariffs-affected inventories for competitive pricing. Competitors like Walmart are also extending promotional periods amid tariff-related price increase worries.

The two faces of India Inc.'s Q3 growth story

Medial
Corporate India experienced divergent paths for revenue and profit growth in the December quarter. While revenues grew at their fastest rate in three quarters, profit growth slowed down. Struggling rural demand has subdued revenue growth compared to the previous year, while reduced input costs have contributed to double-digit profit growth. The banking and financial sector, which had been driving profit growth, was no longer the primary driver in the last quarter. Small businesses' profit growth lagged behind larger firms, and sectors such as banking and hospitality showed some slowdown in net profit growth. However, expenses and input prices have tapered down, leading to higher profit margins. Margins may face volatility in the coming months due to rising freight costs and the Red Sea crisis. Increased consumption demand in urban areas during the election season is expected to provide some relief to companies.

This streamlined approach allows for better pricing control and increased revenue retention. Conversely, B2C brands involve multiple parties in their sales process, such as distributors and retailers, which often leads to slimmer margins.
