Amazon's growth is increasingly driven by high-margin segments like Amazon Web Services (AWS), which holds a 33% global market share and is integrating AI solutions. Additionally, advertising and subscription services are expanding, while Amazon's stock is historically undervalued at 12.8 times forecast cash flow for 2026. In contrast, Apple faces declining physical product sales and stagnant earnings despite a robust services segment, raising concerns about its high valuation.
Tim Cook has announced a new product launch for this week, teasing with the phrase, “There’s something in the Air.” This hints at the upcoming release of a new MacBook Air, expected to feature an M4 chip and maintain the current 13-inch and 15-inch designs. The new chip will bring several significant upgrades for users.
Apple shareholders have voted to maintain the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, rejecting a proposal from the National Center for Public Policy Research to terminate these programs. Apple's board supported this decision, emphasizing its commitment to DEI amid a backdrop of other tech companies scaling back their efforts. CEO Tim Cook noted that future legal changes may require adjustments to the company's practices.
Apple reported a 7% increase in quarterly profit to $36.3 billion, driven by strong growth in services, Mac computers, and iPads, despite a decline in iPhone sales. The company's total revenue reached a record $124.3 billion, with earnings per share of $2.40 surpassing analyst expectations.
Amazon has reversed its previous stance by increasing ad spending on X, owned by Elon Musk, after a year of reduced investment due to concerns over hate speech. While some companies like Apple have cut spending entirely, others are reevaluating their ad strategies. Despite this, overall ad revenue remains significantly lower than before Musk's acquisition, as X struggles with stagnant user growth and unimpressive revenue.
US stocks surged, with the S&P 500 reaching a record high above 6100, buoyed by President Trump's call for interest rate cuts. In Australia, the ASX 200 continued its upward trend, nearing its December peak ahead of key CPI data. Key economic indicators are set for release this week, including US durable goods orders and the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Elon Musk, who previously criticized the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, now supports a similar move under Trump, despite acknowledging its detrimental impact on the planet. His recent actions, including a controversial salute and a redundant advisory role, have sparked backlash and calls for a Tesla boycott in Germany. Meanwhile, major tech CEOs remain silent, having financially backed the environmental destruction they once opposed.
Elon Musk's significant financial contributions, exceeding $277 million, have positioned him as a powerful influencer in the incoming Trump administration, a situation enabled by the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling. This unprecedented reliance on a small group of wealthy donors, with Musk among the top contributors, raises concerns about the growing oligarchy in U.S. politics. As Musk's influence expands, he is also beginning to impact global political affairs, prompting serious attention from international leaders.
Donald Trump, newly inaugurated, faces scrutiny for a gaffe regarding BRICS nations, mistakenly suggesting Spain is a member. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is set to have significant influence in the administration, potentially controlling a non-department aimed at reducing government size. Trump also plans to pardon individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6 Capitol riot, including leaders of extremist groups, raising concerns about the implications for justice and accountability.
The Supreme Court's decision to uphold a law mandating TikTok's sale by Sunday has sparked speculation about potential buyers, including Elon Musk, MrBeast, and Kevin O'Leary. President Biden has left enforcement of the ban to incoming President Trump, who has expressed intentions to "save" the app. Concerns over Chinese government influence and data privacy have fueled the push for an American ownership structure.
