Both companies reported tonight.

CNBC reports Google parent Alphabet sees earnings, revenue beat and announces $7 billion buyback.

Amazon is down 5% (down $42 from $818 to $775) in after hours trading on a substantial earnings miss: Amazon Reports 52 Cents per Share, vs. Expected EPS of 78 Cents.
