In a research note, Barclays analyst Tom O’Malley said that solid numbers missed the high watermark set by the rest of the AMZN supply chain.

“While the company continues to sound good re: the future of their ASIC prospects, the AMZN numbers near term are a bit lower, which is the real sticking point for a market punishing anything not perfect in AI,” he added.
