Amazon's $496B AWS backlog and retail growth outweigh AI capex fears, driving confident buy-in despite stock dips.

Amazon faces market sell-offs due to concerns over AI capital spending, but its AWS backlog has surged to $496 billion with triple-digit growth, mostly contracted for five years. AWS revenue is growing rapidly with strong margins, supported by custom AI chips and major AI clients. Amazon's advertising business also shows robust growth, complementing its vast retail and grocery operations. Despite high capital expenditures and temporary negative free cash flow, Amazon's strong balance sheet and long-term contracts make its expansion sustainable, leading investors to view dips as buying opportunities.
