The e-commerce giant grew revenue by 19.6% to $200.61 billion, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) growth accelerated to 37% from 28%. O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) was also a top performer after posting a double beat on its second-quarter revenue and adjusted EPS earlier this week. Several consumer discretionary stocks led the sector's gains, including: - Amazon (AMZN) - O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) - Tractor Supply Company (TSCO) - Expedia (EXPE) - AutoZone (AZO) ## **Today's Worst-Performing Sector** Meanwhile, the materials sector faced the largest drawdown. Corteva (CTVA) was the worst-performing stock within the group after its quarterly revenue of $6.38 billion missed the consensus estimate of $6.62 billion. Linde (LIN) also faced pressure after saying that its operating margins declined during the second quarter, driven by its U.S. homecare business.
