Amazon Q2 2026 Earnings: AWS Accelerates 37% as a $53B Anthropic Gain Rewrites Profit

Amazon's Q2 2026: $200.6B net sales (+19.6%) and $62.6B net income (+245%) — but $53.4B of that was a non-operating gain from revaluing its Anthropic stake. Operating income rose 43% to $27.5B as AWS accelerated to 37% growth at a 39.4% margin, while trailing free cash flow turned to a $7.6B outflow on $169B of capex. Modeled line by line in a public Beancount ledger.

Alphabet Q2 2026: A $99B Paper Gain, 82% Cloud Growth, and the End of the Buyback Era

Alphabet's Q2 2026 revenue was $119.8B (+24% YoY) and net income hit $112.2B (+298%), but roughly $99.0B of that was a non-cash gain on equity securities that the cash flow statement backs right out, leaving operating cash flow at just $39.1B. Google Cloud grew 82% to a ~$99B run-rate at a 35.6% operating margin, while Alphabet halted stock buybacks and raised ~$70B via common stock, its first-ever preferred, and debt to fund a $44.9B capex quarter that turned free cash flow negative. The FY2022–Q2 2026 Beancount ledger shows long-term debt climbing from $10.9B to $98.2B.

Alphabet Q1 2026: Google Cloud Grows 63%, and a $37.7B Paper Gain Drives the EPS Beat

Alphabet's Q1 2026 revenue was $109.9B (+21.8% YoY) with Google Cloud accelerating to 63% growth and backlog above $460B, but the 82% jump in diluted EPS to $5.11 rests largely on a $37.7B other-income line — mostly unrealized marks on non-marketable equity securities. Backing out the $36.9B equity-securities gain leaves EPS near $2.76, roughly flat against last year's $2.81. Rebuilding the FY2022–Q1 2026 books in a public Beancount ledger shows exactly where the gain landed — non-marketable securities rose from $68.7B to $106.9B, not cash.

Amazon FY2025 Earnings: A Record $77.7B Profit — and AWS Now Generates 57% of It

Amazon's FY2025: $716.9B net sales (+12.4%) and a record $77.7B net income (+31.1%) — but operating income grew only 16.6%, with a $15.2B non-operating equity gain accounting for $7.0B after tax. AWS grew 19.7% to $128.7B and produced 57% of company operating income on 18% of revenue, while PP&E jumped $104.4B in a single year. Modeled line by line in a public Beancount ledger.

Apple's Best March Quarter Ever: $111.2B Revenue, a New $100B Buyback, and Retained Earnings Turn Positive Again

Apple's Q2 FY2026 revenue reached $111.2 billion (+17% YoY) with expanding margins across every geographic segment, and a new $100 billion buyback authorization pushed retained earnings positive for the first time since fiscal 2021. Full income statement and balance sheet, FY2021-Q2 FY2026, in a public Beancount ledger.

Broadcom FY2025 Earnings: $63.9B in Revenue, and a Net Income That Nearly Quadrupled to $23.1B

Broadcom's FY2025: $63.9B revenue (+23.9%) and GAAP net income of $23.1B, up 292% from $5.9B — but decomposing the $17.2B swing shows revenue growth explains only 72% of it, with roughly $4.8B coming from a tax provision flipping to a $397M benefit plus one-time restructuring and discontinued-operations reversals. The durable signals are Infrastructure Software's operating margin rebounding to 76.8%, above its pre-VMware baseline, and AI semiconductor revenue guided to roughly double to $8.2B. Rebuilt line by line in a public Beancount ledger, FY2021–FY2025.

Circle Q1 2026: $694M in Revenue, and Most of It Never Stays

Circle's Q1 2026 revenue was $694.1M (+20% YoY) with USDC in circulation at $77.0B, but $405.4M — 58.4% — went to distribution partners, leaving an RLDC margin of 41%. Reserve income is 94% of revenue, so the top line tracks short-term interest rates. Rebuilding Circle's books in a public Beancount ledger also shows FY2025 was a net-loss year (−$70M), driven by a one-time $503.4M IPO compensation charge in Q2.
