Amazon earnings between a typical report and Julys 15 jump
中文标题
亚马逊财报：典型报告与7月15暴涨之间
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Amazon reports Q3 2026 after the close on 29 October. Options imply a 7.7% move, between the 6% median of the last eight reports and July's 15.3% jump. Saxo frames an iron condor (220/230 puts, 267.50/277.50 calls) collecting about USD 3.20 against most outcomes, and a 240/257.50 strangle costing USD 11.48 that pays only on a large move. Q2 net income was mostly a USD 53 billion investment gain, so AWS growth, guided operating income of USD 22.5-26.5 billion and roughly USD 220 billion of 2026 capex may matter more.

Key arguments
- Options price about a 7.7% move, above the 6% typical of the last eight reports but below July 2026's 15.3%.
- The iron condor keeps its credit if Amazon closes between 230 and 267.50, but loses about twice the credit beyond its long strikes.
- The long strangle needs a move past roughly 8% to break even and loses the full debit inside 240-257.50; IV crush works against it.
- Six of eight past report moves would have stayed inside the condor's break-evens; three exceeded the strangle's.
Key numbers
- Implied straddle move (30 Oct 2026 expiry)
- about 7.7% (USD 230-268)
- Median move over last eight reports
- about 6%
- Q2 2026 report-day move
- +15.3%
- Q3 operating income guidance
- USD 22.5-26.5 billion
- Planned 2026 investment
- about USD 220 billion
Main risks
- Eight reports are a small sample; past moves do not predict 30 October.
- The Fed decision on 28 October and Microsoft's report that day can move Amazon before its own results.
- Amazon options are American-style; the condor's short legs carry early assignment risk near expiry.
