Amazon Q3 revenue guidance soft due to Prime Day shift and FX, but AWS growth and CapEx plans impress.

Amazon.com, Inc. will report its Q3 earnings on October 29, following a strong Q2 where AWS grew 37% year-over-year and backlog reached $496 billion. The Q3 revenue guidance of $197-$202 billion appears weak, mainly because Prime Day sales shifted to Q2 and foreign exchange headwinds impacted results. Capital expenditures are significant, with $220 billion planned for 2026, pushing trailing twelve months free cash flow to -$7.6 billion, and likely higher in 2027. Despite these concerns, Amazon's PEG ratio is 60% below the sector median, reflecting better-than-expected growth, supporting a Buy rating while monitoring free cash flow improvements.

Amazon's market cap stands at $2.83 trillion on Pluang as of October 21, 2026, 22:11 WIB, highlighting its massive scale despite recent concerns over free cash flow. The stock price is $261.52, down 0.42% on the day, with a typical hold time of 128 days among Pluang investors. This trading activity occurs as Amazon prepares to report Q3 earnings, following a strong Q2 backlog of $496 billion mentioned in the news.
