Stocks making the biggest moves after hours: Apple, Amazon, Rivian, Reddit & more
Check out the companies making headlines in extended trading. Amazon — The e-commerce giant's shares shot up more than 9% in extended trading after the firm reported better-than-expected revenue and cloud growth for the second quarter. Revenue in Amazon's cloud segment expanded 37% year over year during the quarter, surpassing Wall Street's expectations for 31% growth and marking the unit's fastest growth in 18 quarters.

The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can use the reported beats/misses and the cited specific concerns (cloud growth, iPhone strength but overall disappointment, continued Coinbase losses, Rivian spending plan reduction, Google referral choppiness at Reddit) to frame next-session positioning and volatility expectations.
Market read
The article provides concrete earnings and estimate comparisons that explain the direction of extended-hours moves for six US-listed stocks.
What to watch
For AAPL and RDDT, the article does not quantify the underlying issue (what specifically in the earnings details or referral traffic trend drove the selloff), which could reverse if follow-up disclosures clarify it.
Background
This is a multi-stock after-hours movers wrap tied to Q2 earnings and guidance reactions across mega-cap tech, EV, crypto exchange, social media, and solar.
Ticker impact
Amazon shares jumped more than 9% after hours on better-than-expected Q2 revenue and cloud growth, with cloud up 37% YoY.
Likely continued volatility and follow-through if investors treat the cloud growth beat as durable.
The article cites specific Q2 cloud growth (37% vs 31% expected) and a large after-hours move, which typically drives immediate positioning.
Apple shares fell more than 4% after hours as investors parsed its earnings report, despite stronger-than-expected revenue and iPhone sales up 22%.
Near-term downside pressure or choppy trading until investors clarify what drove the selloff.
The article provides the direction and magnitude of the after-hours move but does not specify the exact offsetting concern, limiting precision.
Coinbase shares slid more than 5% after posting a third straight quarterly loss of $359.5 million, worse than the expected 17 cents per share loss.
Further downside risk in extended trading and early next session if the market focuses on loss persistence and revenue shortfall.
The article includes concrete loss and revenue figures versus estimates, aligning with the reported price drop.
Rivian shares rose nearly 2% after reducing 2026 spending plans and slightly narrowing forecasted losses, while reconfirming 65,000 to 70,000 deliveries.
Moderate upside bias, but likely capped by ongoing loss expectations until margins improve.
The article cites both cost guidance changes and reconfirmed delivery targets, but provides no margin or cash-flow detail.
Reddit shares sank over 7% after hours as investors worried about search-referral traffic from Google being choppy, despite earnings and guidance beats.
Potential continued weakness if traders extrapolate choppy Google referrals into ad monetization risk.
The article highlights the specific concern (search referrals) and the magnitude of the after-hours drop, but lacks quantitative traffic metrics.
First Solar shares rose more than 3% after Q2 earnings beat expectations, with EPS $3.92 vs $2.99 consensus and revenue around $1.06 billion.
Likely support for the next session, with follow-through depending on any forward guidance not included here.
The article provides clear beat figures and a positive after-hours move, but does not include forward-looking guidance details.
Market effects
Reinforces that cloud growth beats can drive mega-cap tech upside, while crypto exchange earnings and ad-platform traffic quality remain key risk factors.
Primarily US large-cap and growth/tech sentiment into the next cash session.
Limited beyond US-listed names, except for broader risk appetite tied to crypto and digital advertising traffic concerns.
Counterpoint
Some after-hours moves may overreact to headline beats/misses without the full forward guidance context, especially for AAPL and RDDT where the article omits the specific offsetting drivers.
