Amazon’s Public Portfolio: Q2 Filing Insights
It might surprise many to learn that beyond its dominance in e-commerce and cloud computing, Amazon actively manages a public stock portfolio closely tied to its long-term strategic goals. In its latest Q2 2025 filing, Amazon revealed a new position in quantum computing firm IonQ, likely tied to previously held investment rights. The portfolio remains heavily concentrated in Rivian, while smaller holdings in companies like AMD, Marvell, and Astera Labs support Amazon’s cloud and AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, the removal of ATSG reflects its transition to private ownership, not a change in Amazon’s logistics strategy. Read the full breakdown of Amazon’s Q2 holdings here.
Alta Fox Capital: NCR Atleos ($NATL) Investment Case
Alta Fox Capital presents NCR Atleos ($NATL) as a compelling investment with 270% upside potential, targeting $100/share by FY27 from current $27. NATL dominates the ATM servicing industry with 36% global market share, operating a razor/razorblade model focused on high-margin ATM-as-a-Service (ATMaaS) conversions. Currently only 6% of their ATM base uses ATMaaS, expected to grow to 24% by 2028, driving superior economics with 2.9x gross profit uplift. Despite 30%+ projected EPS growth and strong fundamentals, NATL trades at just 6x forward PE versus competitor Diebold’s 14x multiple. Alta Fox believes market inefficiencies from the recent spin-off and perception issues create an asymmetric opportunity, with catalysts including upcoming share buybacks, debt refinancing, and accelerating service mix shift toward higher-margin offerings.

$CAR Director Cashes Out After Earnings Report
Hees Bernardo, a Director at Avis Budget Group, Inc. ($CAR), sold 402,200 shares at $156.59 each, totaling $62.98 million. The sale reduced his vested holdings by 77.0% and marks his largest of four total insider sales to date.
The transaction followed a run-up to this year’s high, with the stock pulling back after a disappointing earnings report. You can track insider activity like this daily with InsiderEdge, available in the BBAE app.
Trending Tickers: $JOBY x Blade Deal, $TSLA Approves Musk Grant, $COMM Sells CCS Unit
This week, several companies made headlines. Here’s a breakdown:
- Joby Aviation ($JOBY): Joby announced plans to acquire Blade’s passenger business for up to $125 million, securing access to urban terminals across the U.S. and Europe and accelerating its commercialization strategy ahead of a 2025 launch in Dubai. The deal excludes Blade’s medical division, which will continue operating as a separate entity.
- Tesla ($TSLA): Tesla’s board approved a new $29 billion stock compensation package for Elon Musk amid ongoing legal challenges to his previous pay plan. The award is contingent on Musk staying in a key leadership role and comes with a multi-year holding requirement.
- CommScope ($COMM): CommScope will sell its Connectivity and Cable Solutions unit to Amphenol ($APH) for $10.5 billion in cash. The proceeds will be used to pay down debt, redeem preferred equity, and issue a post-close dividend, with shareholders required to vote on the deal due to its size.
