What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 29, 2025
Amazon looks due for a short-term bounce after a sharp slide, while many investors still feel positive. Recent news adds fuel: a broader Kroger delivery tie-up through DoorDash, an Amazon-backed IPO, and approval to run power lines to a new AWS data center. Over the next 3 months, consider buys near the recent average price and watch ad budgets, shopper trends, and how sensitive the stock is to interest rates.
Primary drivers
- Big recent drop, but upbeat investor mood hints at a near-term rebound
- New deals and partnerships widen Amazon's reach across services and retail
- New AWS data center approvals can strengthen steady cash coming in
- Its huge size and active trading can help the stock recover faster
