🚨 Jeff Bezos Cashes Out $5.7 Billion in Amazon Stock – Smart Move or Red Flag?
Jeff Bezos just dropped a bombshell on the markets — unloading $5.7 billion worth of Amazon ($AMZN) shares just days before the company’s Q2 earnings report.
📉 The sales began around the time of his Venetian wedding and ended Thursday with a final exit of 4.2M shares for $954M — all pre-approved under a 10b5-1 plan filed earlier this year.
👉 Every single share (25M) from the plan? Sold.
Why now?
Amazon stock has pumped +38% since April’s bottom — the perfect window for Bezos to cash out big. Since 2002, he’s now offloaded over $50B in AMZN stock. Meanwhile, his only buy on record? Just 1 share at $114.77 two years ago.
⏰ Big Earnings Ahead: Will AI Deliver or Disappoint?
Amazon’s Q2 earnings hit July 31, with analysts forecasting:
🧾 $1.32 EPS
📈 $162B in revenue (YoY growth: +9%)
That’s slower than the "Magnificent Seven" average — Meta, Nvidia, and Microsoft are still leading the S&P 500, while Apple lags on AI.
With $104B in capex planned this year — more than any company in the S&P — Amazon is betting everything on AI.
💬 "The market isn’t pricing in AI gains yet," says Janus Henderson. "But results this quarter could change that."

Irene Tunkel from BCA sums it up: “Amazon needs productivity boosts, and AI + robotics give them that edge.”
🧠 Investor Insight: What Can You Learn From Bezos?
