Rivian reported a significant earnings beat with EPS of -$0.48 vs -$0.74 estimates, while Amazon's AWS growth accelerated to 39% YoY, beating expectations. Despite these strong individual results, the positive sentiment was overwhelmed by the broader tech selloff triggered by Alphabet and Intel. This highlights a decoupling of company-specific fundamentals from macro sentiment, where even strong numbers cannot lift stocks in a risk-off environment. Starbucks beat EPS expectations but missed revenue by $90M due to a 4% decline in international sales, particularly in China. Mondelez also missed revenue estimates. These results suggest underlying pressure on consumer spending and international demand, reinforcing the defensive rotation as investors move away from consumer discretionary and into staples. The mixed results indicate that while pricing power exists, volume growth is stalling.
