Amazon's AWS division achieved its fastest growth in over four years, with Q2 revenue at $200.61 billion and AWS revenue up 37% to $42.23 billion. Despite this, Amazon shares remain 12% below their 52-week high, partly due to rising capital expenditures projected at $200 billion for 2026, which has raised concerns among investors. Analysts remain optimistic, with a 24/7 Wall St. price target of $328.86, reflecting a potential 30.75% upside if AWS continues its strong growth and capex translates into free cash flow by 2027. The main risks include high spending and debt levels, but AWS's momentum and AI business growth support a bullish outlook.
