Watch Out For
What can break the setup quickly
- High Capital ExpenditureAmazon plans to allocate $200 billion for capex in 2026, primarily for AI infrastructure, compressing free cash flow.
- Execution RisksUncertainty surrounds new initiatives like Project Leo, which may increase costs without guaranteed returns.
- Tariff UncertaintiesPotential tariff impacts could negatively affect retail margins, adding to operational risks.
- AWS Growth ConcernsIf AWS growth decelerates below 20%, or if operating income trends lower, significant downside risks could emerge.
- Low Valuation ScenariosBear case scenarios suggest the stock could be valued as low as $222.55 or $249.66 per share.
Watch whether new negative commentary on AMZN points to these structural risks or is simply reacting to short-term price moves.
