Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 27, 2025
Amazon looks temporarily beaten down for a company this large, which can set up a rebound. Short-term momentum is still weak, but the long-term story is strong: the cloud business has a big potential customer base through 2030 and makes solid profits. Recent news reinforced this view. Consider buying near 218-222 and adding if the price closes above 225 as the trend improves over 1-3 months. Stay mindful of broader market and economy swings.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out, suggesting sellers may be running out of steam
- AWS makes strong profits and has a very large potential customer base
- Recent news and mood around cloud growth are turning more positive
- Plan to add only if price action shows steady improvement over time
