Jim Cramer Says Google Should Be Up More After Amazon's Results

As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 31, 2026.

Cramer implies Alphabet missed the opportunity to capitalize on Amazon's cloud strength and needs to overhaul its earnings presentation strategy.

Yes Google should be up more off of Amazon, which told you about the line of sight. Google has to rethink how it does its call as it truly was suboptimal

Amazon's latest earnings gave investors a clear read on cloud demand — what Cramer calls "line of sight" — and he believes Alphabet should have ridden that tailwind to a bigger gain. Instead, GOOGL's reaction left Cramer underwhelmed, and he placed part of the blame squarely on how Google conducted its own earnings call.

Cramer's word for the presentation was blunt: "suboptimal." The implication is that Alphabet failed to translate whatever cloud momentum Amazon signaled into a compelling enough narrative for its own investors, leaving potential upside on the table.
