Amazon and Alphabet both reported strong Q2 2026 results with AWS posting its fastest growth in 18 quarters and Google Cloud surging 82% year-over-year. Amazon's revenue reached $200.61B with AWS operating margins at 39.4%, while Alphabet posted $119.8B revenue with Google Cloud margins expanding to 35.6%.

Despite Amazon's diversification and growth in retail and AI infrastructure, Alphabet's accelerating cloud growth, margin expansion, and cash generation make it the favored stock for investors focused on AI and cloud leadership going forward.
