Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 54% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 5, 2026
Treat Amazon as a stock to buy gradually, not rush into. The Jan 5 tie-up between AWS, CrowdStrike, and NVIDIA strengthens the cloud-growth story and helps keep advertising profits steady. Expect short-term ups and downs from broader tech market swings, but buying small amounts over 0-3 months can work.
Primary drivers
- AWS partnerships help keep cloud demand steady
- Advertising and scale lower costs and support profit
- Plenty of trading volume makes gradual buying practical
- Policy or regulatory news can cause short-term swings
