Summary · why it matters

An analyst argues that Amazon and Alphabet are the two winners in cloud computing while Microsoft is the loser, based on their latest quarterly results. Amazon Web Services revenue grew 37% year over year, accelerating from 28% in the prior quarter, while Google Cloud surged 82%. Microsoft Azure grew 43%, barely accelerating from 40% in the previous quarter, raising skepticism about the health of its cloud business. The analyst believes Amazon's momentum could soon surpass Microsoft's growth rate, making Amazon and Alphabet better long-term buys.
