Amazon's AWS grows fastest in 18 quarters amid cash flow challenges, with a $332.67 price target and buy rating.

Amazon's AWS division posted its fastest growth in 18 quarters, growing 37% last quarter, driving optimism despite Amazon's free cash flow turning negative and long-term debt nearly doubling. The company is investing heavily—about $200 billion in 2026—into AI infrastructure, chips, robotics, and satellites, aiming to turn current cash flow pressures into a multiyear earnings engine. Analysts set a price target of $332.67, a 30.4% upside from the current price, with a buy rating at 70% confidence, hinging on AWS maintaining strong growth and positive free cash flow by 2027. Risks include rising capital expenditures and competition, but AWS's accelerating growth and operating margin support a constructive outlook.

As of Oct 19, 2026 22:12 WIB, Amazon (AMZN) shares trade at USD 262.39 on Pluang, up 4.96% for the day. The stock's market cap stands at $2.70 trillion, reflecting strong investor interest amid the company’s heavy investments in AI and infrastructure. This notable daily gain highlights market optimism despite the challenges noted in the article.
