Return distribution probability-weighted scenarios, never collapsed to a point

-25%24%
+14%50%
+40%26%
EV +11.40%
why these probabilities: BASE (+14%, ~299): AWS grows low-20s%, retail/advertising margin expansion continues on the 2026Q1 North America trajectory, EV/EBITDA holds ~15x on a larger EBITDA base. Derived from earnings-power growth at a flat multiple, not from any broker mark — no dated street target for AMZN exists in this pack. BULL (+40%, ~368): AWS reaccelerates through mid-20s%, the Bedrock/Anthropic mix shows the operating leverage the third-party work argues for, capex duration questions quiet as AI revenue visibly covers depreciation, and the multiple re-rates toward 18x. WOULD RAISE the bull probability ABOVE 26%: a disclosed AWS backlog/RPO acceleration, a Trainium volume disclosure that lowers unit cost of serving, or revenue revision breadth turning positive from -0.67 — none of which are in the five-year history the base rate is drawn from. WOULD CUT it: continued negative revenue revisions alongside up-EPS revisions (margin-led, volume-poor earnings are lower quality and re-rate less), or evidence that hyperscaler capex commitments are being met without incremental cloud revenue. BEAR (-25%, ~197, near the 52-week low of 196): the falsifier fires — AWS decelerates below the mid-teens while depreciation from the committed capex lands in the P&L, so EPS is cut on both lines at once and the multiple compresses to ~12x on a payback re-rating rather than a cyclical one.

Falsifiers what would prove this wrong

AWS revenue growth holds at or above the high-teens percentage year over year
AWS segment operating margin does not fall below the low-30s on a sustained basis as depreciation from the current capex cycle lands
The AI capex is funded by rising cloud revenue rather than by multiple-supported spending
Upstream token economics continue to support tier-2 capex — token spend rising with cost per token falling
The revenue revision tape stops deteriorating
Memory and energy cost inflation do not compress AWS unit economics

Conflicts surfaced, never netted out (T4)


Our base case rests on AWS volume growth in the low-20s, but the revenue revision tape is negative and broad: breadth -0.67, 10 estimate cuts against 2 raises over 365 days, median move -1.10%. The street is cutting the

The two tapes disagree with each other, which is itself the finding. Up-EPS with down-revenue is margin-led earnings quality — cost discipline and mix rather than demand. If that is what is happening, the earnings deserv

No options-implied bear probability exists for AMZN in this pack (null, no chain entry), so the strongest available anchor — a dated daily market price for exactly this question — is missing. Our p_bear is reconciled onl
