Amazon Executive Chair Jeffrey Bezos Sells 1.07M Shares At Average Price Of $200.07; Totaling ~$213,765,191; Reducing Stake To 926.4M Shares; Transaction Made Under Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan

The Magnificent Seven, a group of top-performing tech stocks, has delivered extraordinary returns since Joe Biden was elected in early November 2020, significantly outpacing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/">the broader stock market. </a>
An equally weighted portfolio of Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has returned 213.6% over the last four years. This equates to a compounded annualized growth rate, or CAGR, of about 25%.
To put this in perspective, an investor who put $10,000 into this tech-heavy basket on Nov. 3, 2020 would have seen their investment grow to roughly $31,360 by Nov. 5, 2024.
In contrast, an equivalent investment in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) would have grown by 74%, for a CAGR of just 14.8%, resulting in an end balance of about $17,400.
Here&#8217;s a closer look at how these tech giants fared individually under Biden and how their performance compares to the Trump era.

Among the Magnificent Seven, Nvidia as been the standout performer under Biden, surging 967.92% with an annualized return of 80.56%. This explosive growth, driven by the AI boom and demand for GPUs, has catapulted NVIDIA's market cap from $321.69 billion to over $3.4 trillion.
Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet have all roughly doubled in market value under Biden, each delivering annualized returns close to 19%. These established tech giants benefited from strong growth in their cloud, advertising and services segments.
Tesla performance lagged behind the average of the basket. Tesla shares rose 77.48%, translating to a CAGR of 15.42%. The company&#8217;s market cap nearly doubled, reaching $807.74 billion.
Amazon stands out as a relative laggard in this group, with only a 29.36% gain — translating to a 6.64% CAGR — over the same period. The company has faced headwinds from slowing e-commerce growth post-pandemic and rising costs impacting its profitability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent 7 Performance Under Trump</h3>
The same basket of tech stocks had an even more impressive run under the Trump administration from Nov. 8, 2016 to Nov. 2, 2020.
The SPY ETF delivered a 67% gain during the same time frame, slightly lagging broader market returns under Biden.

Under Trump&#8217;s administration, the Magnificent Seven returned an average of 380.2%, with an annualized return of 43.38%.
A $10,000 investment in an equally weighted basket of the Magnificent Seven stocks at the start of Trump&#8217;s term would have grown to approximately $48,020 by Nov. 2, 2020.
This performance was driven by massive rallies, especially in Tesla and Nvidia, which surged 987.26% and 631.84%, respectively.
These stocks were boosted by early enthusiasm for electric vehicles and semiconductor technology, which set the stage for further gains in the Biden era.
Amazon and Apple also thrived during Trump's tenure, with gains of 286.98% and 297.77%, respectively, benefiting from booming e-commerce and strong iPhone sales. 
Even the more mature players, Microsoft and Alphabet, saw their market caps more than double, reflecting the ongoing expansion of cloud computing and digital advertising.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Plan</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-election-opportunitites-tlt-mc-11052024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>Going into the election, the most important chart is that of the bond market.&nbsp; The reason is the reaction to the election from the bond market is likely to be correct compared to the first reaction from the stock market.</li>
<li>The chart shows the contrary Arora call that bonds would fall when the Fed cut interest rates by 50 bps.&nbsp; At the time of the contrary Arora call, everyone was predicting that bonds would go up.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the Arora call has proven spot on.</li>
<li>The chart shows that bonds are now at the bottom band of the top support zone.</li>
<li>Consider keeping this chart handy and see if bonds rally above the top band of the top support zone or they break down and move towards the bottom support zone.</li>
<li>In addition to understanding the chart of the bond market, the following is the essential foundation of how to capture opportunities after the election.
<ul>
<li>Wall Street positioning.&nbsp; Positioning is an important Wall Street mechanic.</li>
<li>Retail investor positioning</li>
<li>Your positioning</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Wall Street is positioned for the following:
<ul>
<li>A significant rally in stocks, bonds, gold, and the dollar after the election</li>
<li>Senate control switching from Democrats to Republicans</li>
<li>House control switching from Republicans to Democrats</li>
<li>An even probability of a Trump win or a Harris win.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Here is the positioning of retail investors:
<ul>
<li>Republican retail investors are heavily positioned in the Trump trade.</li>
<li>Democrat retail investors are heavily positioned in the Harris trade.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The problem with positioning of retail investors is that if their candidate wins, they will do fine.&nbsp; However, if the other candidate wins, they will incur massive losses. This is not the way to maximize the wealth you generate over your lifetime. It is important to keep your politics separate from your investing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, Wall Street is oblivious to the simple fact that the stock market has been front running the election.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Historically, there is anxiety and a pullback before the election in September and October.&nbsp; Historically, when the election is over, the overhang of anxiety lifts irrespective of who wins, and the stock market rallies.</li>
<li>This time is different because there has not been any anxiety, and there was not a pullback in September and October.&nbsp; The reason is that Wall Street has been front running the election.</li>
<li>There is no recent historical precedent of Wall Street front running the election.</li>
<li>Historically smart money uses a combination of hedging and lightening up positions before the election.&nbsp; This time is different in that smart money has been aggressively hedging, more than any other recent election, but has not been lightening up positions.</li>
<li>Even though there is no precedent of election front running, there are hundreds of precedents of Wall Street front running less important events.&nbsp; A typical reaction after the event is over is to sell the news.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, prudent investors should be aware that there is a fair probability of a sell the news reaction.&nbsp; However, the probability of a rally is higher because of the power of the momo crowd.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Going into the election, investors should be very cognizant of the positioning of their own portfolios.&nbsp; The Arora Report portfolios are well balanced between the Harris trade and the Trump trade.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The Arora Report portfolios are also sufficiently protected with the protection band and there is sufficient cash to take advantage of new opportunities.&nbsp; Investors who are not holding enough cash will not be able to take advantage of new opportunities.</li>
</ul>

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Here Is How Investors Can Capture Opportunities From The Election

<a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2024/11/05/amazon-still-backs-talen-nuclear-deal-after-regulator-rejection/">https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2024/11/05/amazon-still-backs-talen-nuclear-deal-after-regulator-rejection/</a>
Amazon.com Inc. said it's committed to building a data center campus adjacent to a Pennsylvania nuclear plant after the top US energy regulator rejected a special deal to power the facility.&nbsp;
Listen to the Here's Why&nbsp;podcast on Apple, Spotify or&nbsp;anywhere you listen.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday voted down a request by Talen Energy Corp. that would have increased the amount of power its nuclear plant could supply to an Amazon Web Services data center. Shares of US power producers slumped in response, as investors bet that FERC's ruling would set back efforts by major technology companies to gain quick access to nuclear energy to power their growing data centers.&nbsp;
"We remain committed to continue innovating and advancing carbon-free energy solutions with companies like Talen Energy to power data center operations in the United States and the many technologies supporting our customers and our daily lives," Duncan Neasham, an Amazon spokesperson, said Monday in an email. Reached by phone, Neasham confirmed the company intends to go forward with the Talen project.&nbsp;
Talen in March had announced that Amazon's cloud computing unit would pay $650 million for a data center campus of as much as 960 megawatts adjacent to Talen's Susquehanna nuclear plant. Talen shares gained as much as 9.8% to $186.64 on Tuesday, after Amazon confirmed its continued support for the project. Amazon's stock rose about 1%.
Under the deal, the data center campus would be powered directly by the plant, meaning Amazon wouldn't have to plug into the wider grid or fund related transmission upgrades. Some utility owners challenged the move, saying it could threaten grid reliability and raise rates. Talen had previously secured the rights to power the facility with as much as 300 megawatts in that manner. That authorization is unaffected by FERC's ruling.&nbsp;
Amazon and other big cloud-computing companies, desperate for power to support their growing operations while pursuing their public goals to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, have sought agreements with operators of nuclear power plants.&nbsp;

On Monday, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) briefly claimed the title of the most valuable company globally, surpassing Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in market value.
Nvidia&#8217;s stock surge pushed its market cap to $3.38 trillion, edging past Apple&#8217;s $3.35 trillion, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/05/nvidia-briefly-overtakes-apple-as-most-valuable-us-company-origin-story.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Although Apple regained the lead by the end of the day, Nvidia&#8217;s rise highlights the company&#8217;s trajectory from a 3D gaming startup to a dominant player in artificial intelligence (AI).

Much of Nvidia&#8217;s growth stems from its graphics processing units (GPUs), originally built for gaming but now critical in AI technology, enabling deep learning and cloud computing advances.
Nvidia&#8217;s revenue has soared, doubling over five quarters and tripling in three, driven by strong demand for its Blackwell AI GPU. Major tech firms like Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, and Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are heavily investing in Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs, including the H100, to advance their AI projects.
Nvidia <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41712053/end-of-an-era-ai-propels-nvidia-to-replace-struggling-intel-in-dow-index" rel="noreferrer noopener">was recently added</a> to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, replacing Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>).
Jim Cramer highlighted Google&#8217;s planned increase in AI infrastructure investments next year as a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41625103/jim-cramer-says-googles-ai-investment-next-year-should-be-fabulous-for-nvidia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">potential boost for Nvidia</a>.
Cramer noted that Alphabet&#8217;s third-quarter solid earnings and growing focus on AI set Nvidia up for further gains in the AI sector.
Nvidia&#8217;s origin story began in 1993 when co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined engineers Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem at a San Jose Denny&#8217;s restaurant, where they decided to start the company.
Back then, Huang was driven by a vision to develop affordable computing chips, a goal that first materialized in 1995 with the NV1 chip.
Although the NV1 struggled technically, nearly driving Nvidia to bankruptcy, the company&#8217;s next innovation—the RIVA 128 chip—gained commercial success in 1997.
Investors can gain exposure to Nvidia through SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>).
Price Action: NVDA stock is up 2.8% at $139.88 at last check Tuesday.

Nvidia Takes Short-Lived Lead Over Apple In Valuation

Investors are zeroing in on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics">potential political outcomes</a> in the U.S. elections Tuesday could mean for the markets.
WisdomTree's Global CIO, Jeremy Schwartz and Senior Economist Jeremy Siegel have shared insights on how a Republican or Democratic win could shape sectors across both the equity and bond markets.
Here's what WisdomTree sees on the horizon.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bond Market Volatility: How Policy Could Shape Yields</h2>
Siegel said bond markets are primed for volatility, with each election outcome pointing to different scenarios for interest rates and yields. A Republican sweep, accompanied by tax cuts and heightened fiscal spending, could push bond yields upward by 20 basis points or more, he said. In this scenario, investors might brace for inflationary pressures and potentially tighter monetary policy, which would counterbalance any short-term equity gains.
On the flip side, a Democratic sweep is seen as a stabilizing force for bonds, with expectations for moderated spending and pro-growth fiscal restraint. 
WisdomTree's Kevin Flanagan, head of fixed income strategy, notes that Democratic policies might offer a predictable, low-volatility environment that helps maintain steady rates and tempers inflation concerns.
A divided government could yield the "best case" for bonds, creating stability through gridlock that limits sweeping fiscal changes and curbs deficit growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Equity Market Winners: Mag 7 In Focus Under GOP, Infrastructure &amp; Clean Energy For Democrats</h2>
For equity markets, each scenario presents distinct opportunities, particularly in the growth-oriented and infrastructure sectors. Under a Republican administration, WisdomTree expects an initial boost in stocks like the Magnificent Seven: (Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). 
The Magnificent Seven stocks could be driven by extended tax cuts, reduced regulation, and potential capital gains exemptions.
The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) provides exposure to the Magnificent Seven stocks along with other popular tech-heavy ETFs such as the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>).
This favorable backdrop for the tech-heavy sector could stimulate momentum, although Siegel cautions that rising yields might cap equity gains by pressuring valuations.
In contrast, a Democratic sweep would likely favor sectors tied to clean energy and infrastructure. With a focus on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democratic agenda is expected to channel substantial support into solar, hydrogen and renewable energy projects. The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) provides exposure to solar stocks.

This shift would likely benefit clean energy stocks while weighing on small-cap stocks with high U.S. revenue exposure, as they would face the most significant earnings impact from higher corporate tax rates. 
Investors in clean energy ETFs such as the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NYSE">ICLN</a>) and First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart GRID Infrastructure Index (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NYSE">GRID</a>) and those invested in small-cap stocks via ETFs such as the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJR#NYSE">IJR</a>) or the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) should be wary of their holdings.
According to Wisdom Tree, Democratic leadership could also benefit international markets, as the reduced likelihood of higher tariffs might ease trade concerns and foster demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating The Election Landscape</h2>
Beyond direct impacts on stocks and bonds, WisdomTree suggests that a blend of strategies, such as private credit, inflation hedges like gold, and international exposure with currency hedging, may help investors manage market uncertainty.
Trade policies, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's trajectory are all likely to play roles in shaping post-election strategies, underscoring the value of a diversified approach.
As the U.S. awaits the election results, WisdomTree's analysis highlights a divided outlook for investors. Whether the election ushers in policies that lift the Magnificent Seven stocks or bolsters the bond market, each scenario brings unique opportunities and risks to watch in the weeks ahead.

Amazon Says Customers In West Valley Phoenix Metro Area Now Receiving Prime Air Drone Deliveries

Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Prime Video is unveiling an X-Ray Recaps feature to help users stay updated on their favorite shows, even after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/amazon-prime-video-x-ray-recaps" rel="noreferrer noopener">long breaks between episodes</a>.
Instead of rewinding or searching for plot summaries, viewers can now access spoiler-free, AI-generated recaps to refresh their memory quickly.
X-Ray Recaps uses generative AI to create concise summaries tailored to a user&#8217;s specific point in an episode or season.

Whether viewers need a refresher on critical events halfway through a season or have missed crucial plot points, X-Ray Recaps provides clear, relevant context in short text segments.
This feature extends Prime Video&#8217;s existing X-Ray tool, which already offers cast, soundtrack, and trivia information to enhance the viewing experience.
Amazon&#8217;s new feature leverages Amazon Bedrock, an AWS service for creating and scaling AI applications.
The feature combines Bedrock&#8217;s AI and customized models trained on Amazon SageMaker to analyze video segments and subtitles to generate comprehensive yet spoiler-free summaries.
Guardrails ensure that the recaps avoid spoilers and keep the content concise, making it ideal for audiences eager to return to their shows without missing key developments.
Prime Video users can access X-Ray Recaps directly from the detail page or during playback within the X-Ray experience. Once activated, options include summaries for the current episode, the season, or the previous season.
The feature is currently in beta and is available to U.S. customers on Fire TV, with broader device support expected by the end of the year.
At launch, X-Ray Recaps will cover the Amazon MGM Studios Original series.
The move marks Amazon&#8217;s efforts to stay relevant versus streaming giants like Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). Amazon Prime Video started offering lower ad prices than Netflix and other streaming rivals as it competes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40042764/amazon-challenges-netflix-with-cheaper-ad-slots-boosts-prime-video-ads-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">for advertiser interest</a>.
Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik noted Amazon as a substantial investment, even with upcoming <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41737293/amazon-stock-buy-now-pay-off-later-says-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">infrastructure spending increases</a>. Shmulik sees Amazon&#8217;s core operations, AWS revenue, and Prime Video investments as key drivers, especially before the holiday season.
He emphasized that Amazon&#8217;s spending tends to yield solid returns, setting up for strong free cash flow in 2025.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41692259/amazon-analysts-see-growth-ahead-with-aws-in-early-innings-of-a-big-ai-cycle-advert" rel="noreferrer noopener">Analysts view Amazon Prime Video</a> as a strategic growth driver within Amazon&#8217;s expanding advertising segment. The recent introduction of Prime Video&#8217;s ad-supported tier will likely boost Amazon&#8217;s advertising revenue, with analysts like Truist&#8217;s Youssef Squali projecting significant contributions by fiscal 2025. BMO Capital&#8217;s Brian Pitz also noted that sports content and new AI-driven bidding tools could further enhance ad revenue potential.
Price Action: AMZN stock traded higher by 0.13% to $196.03 premarket at the last check on Tuesday.

Amazon Takes on Netflix With New AI Recaps

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) remains a compelling investment opportunity despite increased infrastructure spending planned for the coming year, according to Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik, who maintains an &#8220;Outperform&#8221; rating on the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41734887/cathie-woods-latest-shake-up-dumps-palantir-and-jack-dorseys-block-along-with-tesla-buys-amazon-">with a $235 price target</a>.
What Happened:&nbsp;&#8220;Amazon feels like the name that you can put money to work in and get excited about,&#8221; Shmulik <a href="https://x.com/YahooFinance/status/1853538096291225888">told</a> Yahoo Finance in a recent interview.

<ul>
<li>AWS revenue growth shows promising momentum heading into the fourth quarter.</li>
<li>Prime Video investments are strategically timed for the holiday shopping season.</li>
<li>Core business operations are &#8220;on solid footing and accelerating.&#8221;</li>
<li>The company is building the groundwork for &#8220;a very solid 2025&#8221; in terms of free cash flow.</li>

This move came amid Palantir&#8217;s recent third-quarter earnings report, which exceeded expectations.
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">reported by Benzinga</a>, Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings showcased a revenue of $725.52 million, beating the consensus estimate of $701.13 million. The company&#8217;s total revenue was up 30% year-over-year, with U.S. revenue growing 44% year-over-year to $499 million. The U.S. Commercial revenue grew 54% year-over-year, and U.S. Government revenue climbed 40% year-over-year.
Despite these strong financial results, Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to offload Palantir shares aligns with their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41674556/cathie-wood-bets-big-on-mark-zuckerberg-ark-pours-19m-into-meta-shares-dumps-palantir-and-tesla-">recent trend</a> of reducing holdings in the company.
The Coinbase Global Inc. Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKF fund bought 24,474 shares of Coinbase. The transaction was valued at $4.6 million. On Monday Coinbase shares ended the day 1.85% higher at $186.27. 
At the end of October, the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">third-quarter revenue</a> of $1.21 billion and earnings of $0.28 per share, both missing analyst expectations. Trading volume and transaction revenue declined quarter-over-quarter, while the company saw continued growth in its Base Layer Two network. Coinbase expects increased sales and marketing expenses in Q4 and highlighted the 2024 U.S. election as a potential factor for market volatility.
The Meta Platforms Inc Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) fund bought 6,153 shares of Meta Platforms Inc. This purchase follows Meta&#8217;s third-quarter financial results, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">beat analyst estimates</a> for both revenue and earnings per share. The value of the trade, based on the closing price of $560.68 per share on Monday, is approximately $3.45 million.
The Tesla Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ETFs, ARKK and ARKW, sold a total of 9,984 shares of Tesla. Based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $242.84 on Monday, the value of this trade is approximately $2.42 million. This move comes in the wake of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41708446/tesla-shares-slide-in-pre-market-as-sales-of-elon-musk-led-companys-made-in-china-evs-drop-in-octobe">reported decline</a> in Tesla&#8217;s China-made vehicle deliveries in October, which saw a 5.3% drop compared to the same period last year.
This decision to sell Tesla shares is not new. Ark Invest has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41642374/cathie-wood-shuffles-her-tech-deck-continues-dumping-tesla-and-palantir-stocks-up-on-amd-and-met">gradually reducing</a> its Tesla holdings.

Cathie Wood's Latest Shake-up: Dumps Palantir And Jack Dorsey's Block Along With Tesla, Buys Amazon And Meta

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly hit a roadblock in its plans to construct a nuclear-powered AI data center in the U.S. The discovery of a rare bee species on the proposed site has disrupted the project.
What Happened: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had planned to collaborate with an existing nuclear power plant operator to provide emissions-free electricity for the new data center.
However, the project encountered several hurdles, including environmental and regulatory issues, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ed602e09-6c40-4979-aff9-7453ee28406a">reported</a> Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter.

The rare bee species found on the land adjacent to the plant, where the data center was to be built, added to the project&#8217;s challenges. Zuckerberg shared this information during a company-wide meeting last week.
Despite the setback, Meta is still investigating various carbon-free energy alternatives, including nuclear.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: The tech industry&#8217;s increasing demand for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39568237/tech-giants-eye-nuclear-power-to-fuel-ai-boom-raising-concerns-over-stability-and-environmental-">electricity to fuel the AI boom</a> has led to a significant shift towards nuclear power.
Meta&#8217;s rivals, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have inked deals with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41358363/nuclear-stocks-soar-as-amazon-becomes-latest-tech-giant-to-invest-in-nuclear-power">nuclear power plant operators</a> to cater to their data centers&#8217; growing energy needs.
In September, Microsoft revealed plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40994664/pennsylvania-governor-josh-shapiro-urges-quick-connect-for-microsofts-nuclear-power-plan-involving-t">reactivate the dormant nuclear facility</a> at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania.
In March, Amazon invested $650 million to establish a data center adjacent to the Susquehanna Steam Electric nuclear plant, also located in Pennsylvania.
Last month, Google announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321236/sam-altmans-oklo-jumps-on-google-nuclear-deal-whats-going-on">intention to purchase power from</a> small modular reactor (SMR) developer Kairos Power.

Mark Zuckerberg's Nuclear-Powered AI Ambitions At Meta Stung By Rare Bees

Once sidelined in favor of renewable sources, Goldman Sachs analysts suggest we are in the &#8220;early stages of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nuclear-energy">nuclear renaissance in the U.S.&#8221;</a> 
Growing support from governments and major investments from tech giants like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) are driving the momentum. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nuclear Power's Growing Role In Data Center Energy Demand</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts, led by Brian Singer, highlight the mounting pressures of data center power needs, which they estimate will grow 165% by 2030 compared to 2023 levels.
This surge in demand is motivating &#8220;Big Tech&#8221; to diversify power sources, with a notable shift towards nuclear energy. 
&#8220;We continue to see Big Tech taking an all-in approach to sourcing power and pursuing low-carbon solutions,&#8221; Singer stated. 
He added, "While we continue to assume renewables will meet only 40% of data center power demand growth through 2030, we see potential for a significant rise in nuclear's share in the 2030s."
The limitations of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which require substantial land, have made nuclear a compelling alternative. According to Singer, natural gas and nuclear require a much more modest acreage footprint versus utility-scale solar.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) On The Rise</h3>
The development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are more compact and versatile than traditional reactors, is at the center of this nuclear resurgence. 
Hyperscale cloud providers, including Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, have already signed multiple contracts for SMR technology, aiming to power their expanding data centers with low-carbon, reliable energy.
"The prospects of more localized, onsite low-carbon reliable power has led to a surge in contracting by hyperscalers to support the development of small modular nuclear reactors,&#8221; the analysts wrote. 
Beyond SMRs, large-scale nuclear projects are also gaining momentum. 
Constellation Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NYSE">CEG</a>) recently announced it would bring back online a dormant unit at the Three Mile Island plant, backed by a "take-or-pay" power contract with Microsoft. 
According to the Goldman Sachs report, this could be just the beginning, with "potential for approximately two additional plants to be brought online in the U.S." over the next several years.
"Recognition of accelerated power demand growth from utilities is leading to greater willingness to consider new large-scale reactors," said Singer.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Governments Rethink Nuclear Amidst Energy Security Concerns</h3>
The policy landscape around nuclear energy is also shifting as countries worldwide seek stable and sustainable energy sources. "We're seeing greater support by governments across the globe," said Singer. 
"Switzerland is reconsidering nuclear, there's bipartisan support in the U.S., and even Australia's opposition party has proposed integrating nuclear into the country's energy mix." 
He indicated that at COP28, there was a global agreement to triple nuclear capacity by 2050—a significant signal that the nuclear narrative is changing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Uranium Sourcing Challenges</h3>
Uranium sourcing remains a complex issue, with nearly half of global uranium supply controlled by China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. 
In contrast, Europe and the Americas source about 30% of uranium production, hold 56% of conversion capacity, and 41% of enrichment capacity. 
"We expect greater clarity on rules and confidence surrounding uranium sourcing will be key to moving forward with a meaningful ramp-up in nuclear generation capacity in the U.S. and Europe," Singer explained.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cameco Corporation Positioned To Benefit From Nuclear Revival</h3>
Among the companies poised to benefit from this nuclear revival, Cameco Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) stands out as the key gainer according to Goldman Sachs. 
"We see Cameco's positioning across the entirety of the fuel cycle as a key driver underpinning our constructive view on the stock," said Singer.
Cameco&#8217;s operations span mining, conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication. Goldman Sachs suggests the company is well-positioned to support both traditional and emerging nuclear energy applications.
The investment bank holds a &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating on the stock, with a 12-month price target of $61. This implies a 20% rally from current market levels.

Goldman Sachs Sees 'Early Stages Of Nuclear Renaissance In US:' Analysts Highlight Top Stock Poised To Benefit From Data Centers' Energy Demand

Nuclear stocks are trading lower across the board on Monday after regulators rejected Talen Energy Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLN#NASDAQ">TLN</a>) plans to increase power for an Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41704326/talen-energy-statement-on-ferc-order-rejecting-susquehanna-isa">data center</a>. 
What Happened: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Friday rejected Talen Energy&#8217;s request to increase how much power its Susquehanna nuclear plant in Pennsylvania can provide to Amazon Web Services.
According to a CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/tech-partnerships-with-power-companies-for-ai-in-doubt-after-ferc-order.html">report</a>, Talen Energy sold a data center campus to Amazon in March for $650 million. The company had filed a request to increase the power dispatched to the facility from 300 megawatts to 480 megawatts, but FERC shot it down, saying the arrangement could have &#8220;huge ramifications&#8221; on grid reliability and consumer costs. 
Talen issued a statement in response to the order rejecting its amended plans, saying it believes FERC &#8220;erred&#8221; in its decision. The company noted that it&#8217;s evaluating its options with a focus on commercial solutions. 
&#8220;We believe this ISA amendment is just and reasonable and in the best interest of consumers. FERC&#8217;s decision will have a chilling effect on economic development in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey,&#8221; the company said in the statement.
Talen noted that the existing agreement allows for 300 MW of co-located load at Susquehanna. Despite the rejected amendment, Talen said it can still proceed with development of the first phases of the Amazon Web Services data center campus using the 300 MW while it continues to pursue approval of an amended agreement.

Nuclear Stocks Are Tumbling Monday: What's Going On?

Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) collaborated with Mexican grocery delivery startup Jüsto to offer fresh groceries and staple items through Amazon&#8217;s platform in Mexico.
This partnership allows Jüsto&#8217;s products to be available directly on Amazon&#8217;s Mexican website. Jüsto will manage the delivery process.
Ricardo Weder, founder and CEO of Jüsto, views this collaboration as an opportunity to gain greater online visibility and boost adoption in a market where only 3% of the population currently buys groceries online, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-04/amazon-amzn-partners-with-online-grocer-justo-for-deliveries-in-mexico?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Amazon, in turn, expands its inventory of fresh food items, aligning with its strategy to offer faster delivery services and capture more demand for everyday essentials typically bought in physical stores.
This new development follows a recent funding round for Jüsto, which raised $70 million in equity and debt financing. The funds will likely support Jüsto&#8217;s growth in Mexico.
Weder told Bloomberg that approximately 68% of Jüsto&#8217;s offerings come from small- and medium-sized Mexican producers.
Weder aims to expand into all major Mexican cities within 18 to 24 months.
Recently, Wall Street analysts from Bank of America, Wedbush, Goldman Sachs, and Needham noted Amazon&#8217;s growth, which was driven by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41692259/amazon-analysts-see-growth-ahead-with-aws-in-early-innings-of-a-big-ai-cycle-advert" rel="noreferrer noopener">AWS&#8217;s steady expansion</a>, particularly in AI, and rising cloud demand.
According to analysts, strength in North American retail, Prime membership growth, and increased advertising potential bolster Amazon&#8217;s outlook.
Analysts highlighted Amazon&#8217;s retail strength in North America, which is driven by expanded Prime membership and the July Prime Day boost.
Improved product variety and focus on affordable essentials are increasing basket sizes, aiding Amazon&#8217;s market share growth, especially in grocery and pharmacy.
Analysts note that the company&#8217;s emphasis on value items and everyday essentials continues to build customer loyalty and profitable market share.
Price Action: AMZN stock is down 1.02% at $195.91 at the last check on Monday.

Amazon Teams Up with Jüsto to Bring Fresh Groceries to Mexican Shoppers

<a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/amazon-prime-video-x-ray-recaps">https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/amazon-prime-video-x-ray-recaps</a>
X-Ray Recaps conveniently catches you up on what's happening, whenever you're in need of a refresher.
Have you ever waited so long for the next season of a TV show that you can't remember what's going on when it finally premieres? Or ducked out of the room for a popcorn refill, only to miss a crucial plot point? We've all been there. And while your initial instinct may be to rewind or search online for a summary, this approach is inconvenient and takes you away from the streaming experience. You also run the risk of encountering a spoiler or rewatching parts you've already seen.
With X-Ray Recaps, <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/what-you-need-to-know-about-prime-video">Prime Video</a> is delivering a new way to get up to speed without wasting time or risking spoilers, allowing you to spend more time streaming your favorite TV shows.
X-Ray Recaps is a generative AI-powered feature that creates brief, easy-to-digest summaries of full seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and even pieces of episodes, all personalized down to the exact minute of where you are watching. Whether you're a few minutes into a new episode, halfway through a season, or took a break from watching a series and need a refresher, X-Ray Recaps delivers short textual snippets of key cliffhangers, character-driven plot points, and other details that can be accessed at any point in your viewing experience.
X-Ray Recaps builds upon Prime Video's <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/what-is-x-ray-on-prime-video">existing X-Ray features</a>, which help viewers dive deeper into what they're watching by offering trivia and information about the cast, soundtrack, production details, and more.
"Prime Video product and technology teams work relentlessly behind the scenes to enhance customers' viewing experience, and with the creation of X-Ray Recaps, we're directly addressing a common problem customers face when streaming content: forgetting where they left off," said Adam Gray, vice president of product at Prime Video. "With this context-aware functionality, Prime Video will deliver summaries of memorable moments and important plot points so our customers can quickly jump back into what they were watching or rediscover why they fell in love with a series in the first place."
