"AWS grew 28% year over year, the fastest pace in 15 quarters, the chips business crossed a $20 billion annual run rate, and EPS came in at $2.78 versus a $1.73 estimate."
"Despite Q1 results that CFO Brian Olsavsky framed around a 13.1% operating margin, the highest ever, shares have given back recent gains. Momentum has cooled.

Two overhangs were cited: Berkshire Hathaway fully exited its Amazon position and free cash flow declined under a $200 billion 2026 capex plan, including $43.2 billion spent in Q1. A $375 target would require about a 42% gain and a higher forward P/E than consensus implies.
