Amazon's stock lags S&P 500 despite strong AWS growth and potential $2T Anthropic IPO unlocking $400B assets.

Amazon has underperformed the S&P 500 over the past five years, creating a valuation gap between its stock price and business fundamentals. AWS revenue growth is accelerating, driven by AI and custom silicon, supporting strong top-line and margin expansion through at least fiscal year 2028. Additionally, Anthropic's potential $2 trillion IPO could unlock $400 billion in liquid assets for Amazon. Despite these positives, Amazon's market cap has remained flat since late 2024 after stripping out this $400 billion, highlighting the disconnect. Analysts see a 35% upside to a $350 price target, maintaining an overweight buy rating due to favorable risk-reward and well-priced near-term risks.

Amazon trades at USD 255.63 on Pluang as of Oct 09, 2026 00:41 WIB, down 1.65% in one day. The stock's market cap stands at $2.80 trillion, with a 52-week high of $284.02 and low of $198.79. Pluang users show more selling interest, with 69% of orders to sell and 31% to buy, reflecting cautious sentiment despite the positive analyst outlook.
