Amazon's AWS drives 39% revenue growth with strong margins, shifting focus from retail to cloud services.

Amazon is transforming into a high-growth, high-margin cloud computing provider, led by its AWS segment which saw a 39% revenue increase and margin expansion to 38.7%. Management expects AWS growth to exceed 40% in 2027 and 2028, signaling strong future momentum despite Amazon's $66 billion net debt and negative cash flow after capital expenditures. The AWS backlog and contracted demand are accelerating, indicating robust demand ahead. The company is rated as an 'Accumulate' with a price target of $360, reflecting optimism about AWS's potential to offset challenges in its legacy retail business.

Amazon trades at USD 240.29 on Pluang as of Oct 31, 2026 04:02 WIB, down 1.44% in one day. The stock holds a market cap of $2.64 trillion and a 52-week high of $284.02. Pluang users show a buying interest with 66% of orders favoring Amazon, reflecting ongoing confidence despite recent price dips.
