The hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) are always some of the first companies to report earnings during earnings season (coming up in 2 weeks), and there’s always a read through for consumption names (meaning people believe there’s a correlation). Cloudflare is up 17%. Datadog is up 14%. Mongo is up 16%. Snowflake is up 14%.

The kink downwards in the red line at Q-2 shows a sudden deceleration in AWS’ growth rate. GCP is more volatile, likely driven by the volatility of bigger deals closing on a smaller revenue base. The data suggests a broader slowdown in software spending as these companies are indices of software buyers’ behavior.
