Amazon's aggressive investments in AI and its cloud division AWS have driven its free cash flow into negative territory, with capital expenditures expected to reach $220 billion by 2026. AWS continues to be the company's main growth driver, surpassing a $169 billion run rate, while the AI segment grows rapidly, already hitting a $25 billion run rate. Management aims for $1 trillion in annual revenue over time, but due to higher valuation and these heavy investments, the stock's upside potential is seen as limited, leading to a recent downgrade after a strong return since the last buy rating.
