AMAZON AND INTEL EARNINGS

Following poor earnings and forecasts from major US technology companies throughout the week, the earnings and projections of two companies have pleased investors. Amazon, which investors focused on for its cloud computing business, exceeded expectations by generating 6.98 billion dollars in operating profit in this area.

The revenue of the company's core business, online retail, also surpassed analyst expectations. In his speech to investors, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that generative artificial intelligence is creating tens of billions of dollars in opportunities for the cloud computing company Amazon Web Services.

Amazon shares rose 5.3 percent in the futures market. Chip manufacturer Intel, on the other hand, pleased investors with its forward-looking assessments. In a statement from Intel, it was noted that the company expects sales revenue between 14.5 and 15.6 billion dollars in the fourth quarter. Analysts had estimated this expectation at 14.4 billion dollars. Following the sales revenue forecast that exceeded analyst expectations, Intel's shares rose 7.7 percent in the futures market.
