Tesla, Alphabet, Broadcom, Nvidia, Amazon: Why These 5 Mega-Cap Stocks Are Making Waves After Hours

Elon Musk's EV maker slumps on weak Q2 sales, while Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, and Broadcom gain on strong earnings, AI momentum, and Meta chip buzz.

Tesla (TSLA): Shares fell over 4% after hours as the EV maker reported Q2 automotive revenue of $16.7 billion, down from $19.9 billion a year ago, marking its second consecutive quarterly decline. Both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) fell short of analyst expectations.

Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL): Shares rose 1.8% after the tech giant beat estimates, reporting Q2 earnings of $2.31 per share on revenue of $96.43 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG expected $2.18 per share and $94 billion in revenue.

Broadcom (AVGO): The chipmaker gained 2.8% after reports from DigiTimes suggested it's competing with other firms for Meta's (META) new ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) projects. 

Nvidia (NVDA): Shares added 1.2% after-hours, boosted by optimism around the Trump administration's new AI blueprint, which seeks to expand AI exports and relax regulations. Nvidia supplier SK Hynix also boosted sentiment after announcing a record profit and increasing its investment for 2025.

Amazon (AMZN): Shares climbed 0.7% after the company announced the acquisition of Bee, a wearable AI device startup. BofA raised its price target on Amazon to $265 from $248, citing stronger-than-expected Q2 retail data, FX tailwinds, and AI momentum. BofA now expects $164 billion in Q2 revenue and $17.8 billion in profit, both above consensus and within Amazon's guidance range.
