The Pulse: Wall Street just got its answer. $AMZN didn't just beat on AWS—it crushed the "AI capex black hole" narrative that's haunted cloud players for 18 months. Q4's 24% AWS growth (strongest in 13 quarters) isn't the headline; it's the 26-38% YoY acceleration analysts are pricing for Q1 2026 that has $MSFT Azure sweating. Andy Jassy's bombshell $600B AWS revenue projection by 2036 isn't hype—it's a roadmap backed by $200B in 2026 AI capex and the Anthropic partnership printing margins. The gap is closing, and $AMZN just shifted from "playing catch-up" to "leading the race."

🎯 Strategic Slam
Here's the setup: $AMZN is trading at ~$260 after a 29% rip. The buy-on-dip zone is $240-$245—that's where profit-takers pause and institutions reload. If AWS hits that >30% growth threshold in Q1 2026, this becomes a $300+ story by mid-year.
2026 Price Target: $340-$360 (assumes 30%+ AWS growth sustained, advertising margin expansion continues, and Anthropic partnership delivers 2-3% incremental margin lift).
The Trade: Scale into weakness at $245, add at $235 if macro shakes it. Stop-loss: $225 (breaks 50-day MA). This isn't a coinflip—it's a bet that AI capex finally converts to revenue leadership.
