Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 35 days.
The thesis — published June 26, 2026
Amazon looks selective for the next few months because its cloud services, advertising, and AI tools make it less tied to retail ups and downs. A survey showing strong tech spending by big firms helps cloud demand. Tariff news and general tech selling are clear risks. Recent pullback makes the price more attractive, but negative market momentum keeps confidence moderate.
Primary drivers
- AWS and AI services driving steady cloud sales and infrastructure growth
- Advertising brings higher-margin revenue and diversifies income
- Survey evidence suggests enterprises are still spending on cloud services
- Recent price decline improves potential reward versus the current risk
