Amazon reported a strong quarter with AWS growing 28% year-over-year, its fastest pace in 15 quarters, and earnings per share (EPS) of $2.78 beating estimates of $1.73. Despite these strong fundamentals, shares closed at $264.14, below what the fundamentals suggest. Challenges include Berkshire Hathaway's exit from Amazon shares and a significant free cash flow drop due to a $200 billion capital expenditure plan. Analysts remain bullish with a consensus target of $311.55, though some believe this undervalues Amazon's growth potential, especially with AWS and the chips business expanding rapidly. The stock could reach $375 by 2026 if AWS growth continues, chip revenue commitments convert to sales, and sales targets are met, but risks like cash flow pressure and economic shocks remain.
