Investment Thesis

Amazon is the dominant e-commerce and cloud infrastructure leader, with AWS benefiting from AI infrastructure buildout. High CapEx ($128B in FY2025) is the key risk, but operating leverage is improving with margins expanding from 2.4% (FY2022) to 11.2% (FY2025).

Bull Case

  • +AWS benefits from AI infrastructure buildout with 20% YoY growth
  • +Operating margins continue expanding toward 14-15% as retail matures
  • +CapEx normalizes from peak FY2026 levels, unlocking FCF
  • +Advertising segment growing rapidly with high margins
  • +International segment turning profitable with scale

Bear Case

  • -$200B+ cumulative CapEx guidance may not generate adequate returns
  • -AWS competition intensifying from Azure and GCP
  • -Antitrust regulatory pressure on e-commerce dominance
  • -Consumer spending slowdown impacting retail revenue
  • -Margin compression from heavy AI investment cycle

Key Catalysts

  • AWS growth trajectory and AI workload adoption
  • CapEx normalization timeline post-AI infrastructure build
  • Advertising revenue growth rate
  • International profitability inflection
  • Q1 FY2026 guidance: $173.5B-$178.5B revenue
