Amazon dropped over 11% post-Q4, driven by aggressive CapEx guidance and EBIT outlook below consensus.

Project Kuiper's commercial rollout and workforce automation plans could improve margins and diversify revenue streams beyond AWS in the coming years.
Amazon.com, Inc. is rated a Buy, with shares seen as undervalued despite recent volatility and technical headwinds. AMZN's aggressive AI-driven capex, projected at $200 billion by FY 2026, pressures free cash flow and margins but is expected to be earnings-accretive given AWS demand. Q4 results showed AWS growth of 24% YoY and a revenue beat, but profitability faces near-term risks from high investment and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Amazon.com, Inc. released its Q4 results, which came in mixed, with a beat on the topline and a miss on earnings. The AMZN standout was the CAPEX plans for 2026 in the amount of +$200B.

Amazon.com, Inc. is downgraded from Strong Buy to Buy due to near-term red flags, despite strong long-term prospects in cloud, robotics, and automation. Projected $200B CapEx in 2026, up 50% YoY, raises concerns about AMZN's cash flow strain and execution risk, particularly with satellite launches and AI investments.
