Verdict: Partial Hit
Amazon meldete am 30. Juli 2026 einen GAAP-EPS von 5,75 USD – weit über dem Konsens von 1,82 USD. Allerdings war dieser Wert fast ausschließlich durch einen einmaligen, nicht operativen Vorabsteuergewinn von 53,4 Mrd. USD aus Amazons Beteiligung am KI-Startup Anthropic getrieben. Der operative/bereinigte Kern-EPS (ohne diesen Sondereffekt) wird auf ca. 1,19 USD geschätzt – also deutlich UNTER dem Konsens von 1,82 USD. Der ursprüngliche Vorhersageansatz (AWS-Wachstum, Prime Day, Werbeumsatz) war sachlich richtig – AWS wuchs sogar mit +36,7 % YoY (stärker als die prognostizierten +28 %) und der Umsatz von 200,6 Mrd. USD übertraf die Guidance. Der EPS-Beat war jedoch kein operatives Ergebnis, sondern ein Bilanzeffekt. Die Aktie stieg trotzdem +9 % nachbörslich, getrieben von AWS-Stärke und Umsatzübertreffen.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
