Amazon is set to release its Q2 earnings on July 30, with shares already up about 8% year-to-date and 1.5% this month. The company has strengthened its position in the AI sector, which has led to increased spending and higher interest rates on recent debt. Despite these costs, the outlook remains positive, and Amazon is expected to report better-than-expected results. However, current share prices suggest a 'hold' recommendation rather than a buy.
