Watch list

What moves the thesis, sorted by direction.

Tailwind

AWS re-acceleration

AWS grew 37% with a 39% operating margin and about $496B of contracted backlog. Jassy says capacity, not demand, is the limit into 2027.

Tailwind

Custom chips

The Trainium business runs above $25B a year, anchored by Anthropic's 10-year, up-to-$100B commitment.

Watch

Capex and free cash flow

Trailing 12-month free cash flow was −$7.6B, versus +$18.2B a year earlier. Long-term debt roughly doubled in 2026 to fund the build-out.

Risk

Paper gains

The Anthropic markup inflates GAAP EPS; it is not cash and can reverse.
