Amazon has launched Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), opening its logistics network to external businesses similar to how AWS operates. The service, already adopted by major corporations like Procter & Gamble and 3M, could become a high-margin profit driver. While AWS remains Amazon's strongest business segment, ASCS represents another growth avenue, though its long-term success remains uncertain.

GXO Logistics stock plunged 18% after Amazon announced its new supply chain services business, but CEO Patrick Kelleher dismissed the threat, arguing that GXO's customized, specialized logistics solutions serve a different market than Amazon's pre-existing infrastructure offering.

President Trump's policy decisions and social media posts have become the primary driver of S&P 500 performance during his second term, according to Fundstrat analysis. The five best market days were tied to Trump's tariff pauses and Iran war signals, while the five worst days followed tariff escalations and geopolitical tensions. Without these five best days, the S&P 500 would be down 2.7% instead of up 19% since Trump took office in 2025. The 'TACO trade' (Trump Always Chickens Out) has reshaped market behavior as investors react to Trump's rapidly shifting policy landscape.

American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) shares fell 14% after reporting strong Q4 results with EPS of 84 cents beating consensus and 10% revenue growth.

While Aerie showed strong 23% comparable sales growth, the larger American Eagle brand continues to lag despite focused marketing efforts.

President Trump predicted the Dow Jones will reach 100,000 by the end of his term, requiring ~26% annual returns.

However, investors should monitor whether this momentum is sustainable, as the stock is only up 21% over five years. Key factors to watch include continued product innovation, the fast-growing Aerie segment's performance, and potential tariff impacts on margins.

James H Keefer Jr, SVP of American Eagle Outfitters, sold 5,741 shares worth $134,856 on December 9, 2025, reducing his direct holdings by 34%.
