Before diving into the tidal wave of reports, Maddy and Ryan chatted about Michael Kors and its recent purchase of Jimmy Choo. The acquisition will see a handbag giant take control of a legacy high-fashion brand, and it underscores the recent trend of consolidation in the apparel and fashion space.
The hosts focused on the most important earnings reports this week, including some from the world’s biggest tech giants. This included Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report) profit slump following its massive fine from the EU, as well as Facebook’s (FB) continued growth. Maddy and Ryan also chatted about the results from the big chipmakers, including AMD’s (AMD - Free Report) impressive beat and Intel’s (INTC - Free Report) record revenues.
Of course, Maddy and Ryan also had to touch on the latest reports from two of the show’s favorite food and beverage companies: Chipotle (CMG - Free Report) and Starbucks (SBUX - Free Report) . Amid another food safety headache, Chipotle posted encouraging comps growth, while Starbucks proved that it was committed to expanding its rewards program.
Finally, the hosts covered the biggest earnings story of the week—Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) massive miss. The e-commerce giant surpassed revenue expectations, but profits came in well below expectations and slipped more than 70% year-over-year. Find out why, only on this week’s episode!

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaries," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
