Amazon's stock has underperformed recently, but its core business shows strong growth, especially in AWS and advertising. AWS revenue rose 37% year-over-year with a large backlog, and advertising revenue grew 26%, both contributing to higher operating income. Despite a negative free cash flow due to heavy capital expenditures, Amazon's solid balance sheet and long-term contracts for AI data center capacity support a positive outlook. The market currently prices in near-term risks, but the company's growth potential and financial strength keep investors buying.
