The original thesis that Amazon's AI-driven infrastructure investments would reignite AWS growth and expand margins has been strongly validated by Q1 results. With AWS growing at 28% YoY, record 13.1% operating margin, and major AI partner commitments, the fundamental trajectory supports continued outperformance. Price structure remains intact with strong support at $245.37 and no technical invalidation.
The original long thesis is still intact because the key catalyst strengthened immediately after entry: Amazon delivered a high-quality earnings beat with record margins and accelerating AWS growth, reinforcing the AI and cloud monetization narrative. Price action confirms that strength by holding above key moving averages and above the ratcheted stop, so unless resistance rejection turns into actual structural breakdown, the correct posture is to stay in the winner and let the 12% upside target continue to work.
Amazon's strong Q1 performance, significant growth in the AWS segment, and increasing investment in AI infrastructure justify holding the position. The company's ability to execute on its strategic initiatives and deliver strong financial results supports the long-term growth potential of the stock.
No model argued for EXIT.

If the stock fails to clear 273.87 and starts losing 255 on rising volume, that would suggest the post-earnings move was largely priced in and the short-term path to the target has deteriorated enough to exit.

The massive $200B capex plan has crushed free cash flow, raising sustainability questions. Additionally, the stock is approaching resistance near $273.87 with RSI elevated, increasing risk of a pullback that could test lower support or trigger a broader tech correction.
