I am reducing my Amazon (AMZN) exposure by over 50% due to deteriorating risk/reward after recent earnings. AMZN's $200B capex plan through 2026 and sharp FCF drop raise concerns about AI investment returns and cash flow visibility. Despite revenue and AWS strength, AMZN missed EPS estimates and guided Q1 operating profit below consensus, fueling negative sentiment.

Amazon has big AI spending plans. That isn't helping its stock.

Amazon Web Services ended 2025 with its strongest quarterly growth rate in more than three years.

Amazon (AMZN) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.95 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.98 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.86 per share a year ago.

Amazon.com reported solid Q4 revenue growth, reinforcing its position as a leading e-commerce and cloud services provider. My previous caution on AMZN's valuation persists, as current fundamentals do not yet justify a bullish stance. AMZN will spend massively on a wide range of investments next year, free cash flow will likely take a hit.

E-commerce giant Amazon released its fourth quarter earnings results after Thursday's closing bell, just missing Wall Street's forecast for adjusted earnings ($1.95 per share vs. estimates of $1.96) while topping net sales expectations ($213.39 billion vs.

The stock market sold off Thursday, as the price of bitcoin plunged. Amazon stock dived on earnings after the close.

Amazon.com, Inc. is upgraded to a strong buy after a ~9% post-Q4 drop, despite solid quarterly results and robust long-term growth prospects. AMZN's AWS growth lagged peers but still exceeded estimates; heavy CapEx signals management's conviction in future opportunities, especially in AI and custom chips. Margin expansion and a favorable revenue mix—advertising, AWS, and subscriptions—support a compelling long-term investment case.

Sometimes, it can seem like the AI industry is racing to see who can spend the most money on data centers. Whoever builds the most data centers will have the most compute, the thinking goes, and thus be able to build the best AI products, which will guarantee victory in the years to come.
