Bulls say / Bears say

AWS sales grew 39.3% in the third quarter, its fastest rate in nearly five years, reaching a $184 billion annualised run rate. Its $578 billion backlog points to substantial contracted demand ahead. (Amazon, Amazon)
Amazon’s third-quarter operating income rose to $28.1 billion from $17.4 billion a year earlier, lifting its operating margin to a record 13.9%. This shows the business is converting sales into profit more effectively. (Amazon)
The shift of Prime Day into the second quarter weighed on third-quarter advertising growth; Amazon expects ad growth to return to the high teens in the fourth quarter. If that forecast is met, recent weakness may prove partly timing-related rather than a lasting slowdown. (Amazon)
Heavy AI infrastructure spending is draining cash: Amazon spent $77.3 billion on capital investment in the quarter and reported a $42.4 billion trailing 12-month cash burn. It expects about $220 billion of capital expenditure in 2026 and meaningfully more in 2027, increasing the risk that returns arrive slowly. (Reuters)
The consumer-facing businesses showed weaker momentum: online store sales rose only 2% and missed analysts’ estimates, while advertising sales grew about 11% and also fell short. That leaves growth increasingly reliant on AWS. (CNBC)
The FTC and 22 states sued Amazon over its advertising auctions, alleging that it secretly raised the minimum price advertisers had to pay. The case creates legal and reputational risk for a major profit stream, although the allegations have not been proven. (Reuters)
