Amazon's shares have fallen 10% from a peak reached two months ago, amid concerns over heavy AI capital spending and a rotation out of consumer tech stocks. The article points to strong results: net sales rose 20% in the latest quarter, the strongest year-over-year jump since 2021, while Amazon Web Services revenue surged 37% in the second quarter and AWS now makes up a fifth of revenue but three-fifths of operating profit. North American e-commerce sales rose 16% in the latest quarter. The author notes the stock trades at less than 25 times next year's earnings and argues the pullback offers a discount on a company with a strong online retail moat and a fast-growing AWS.
