🟡 ANALYZED 8/04 — first file ever. HOLD, DO NOT ADD.
What's working
- Real and elite: AWS +36.7%, fastest in 18 quarters, op income +63%, margin 39.4% (+650bps) vs consensus 31% — and achieved despite Amazon SHORTENING server life 6→5 years while peers extended theirs
- Advertising $19.8B +26% at ~100% incremental margin — the strongest moat in the company, and it gets almost no capex
- Kuiper FCC waiver granted 6/05 → 2027-07-30. The +20% move is ~half a real AWS re-rating (+8-12% justified) and ~half the market capitalising a paper gain — the stock added ~$500B. FV $225-290 (mid $255). Add $215-240, strong buy <$215. Trim 28x fwd.
Red flags
- The 22.3x trailing P/E is an artifact: Q2 net income $62.6B / EPS $5.75, but $53.4B was a pre-tax non-operating gain "primarily from our investments in Anthropic" — ~$4.90 of the $5.75. Core ttm EPS ex-marks ≈ $6.84 → 40.6x; fwd $10.33 → 26.9x is the honest anchor. The tell: forward EPS is BELOW trailing EPS. Anthropic carried at $190.4B (Dec-25: $16.2B) on ~$13-18B invested — Level 3, ownership-capped, lock-up restricted, unsellable, and marked off a secondary market brokers say has almost no sellers
- ttm FCF is −$7.6B (vs +$18.2B a yr ago); FY23 $32.2B → FY24 $32.9B → FY25 $7.7B → negative. FY26 capex raised to $220B — because memory got more expensive (the same cycle this repo analysed on MU today). The FY26 capex guide alone exceeds the entire prior decade of FCF (~$151B).
- 76% of capex is AWS; retail capex is flat. This is an AI-infrastructure company bolted onto a retailer
- Ten-year record: ~$246B net income, ~$151B FCF, $0 ever returned. Zero buybacks, +2.0%/yr dilution, $251.6B debt, LT debt $65.6B→$128.9B in six months, and Jassy declined to say how the extra $20B is funded — "Nothing to share." The only megacap where the shareholder's claim shrinks every year
- ~48% of the $496B AWS backlog is owed by Anthropic and OpenAI — companies Amazon capitalises with ~$68B, incl. a $20B facility that becomes drawable as Amazon delivers compute. That is vendor financing.
- AWS return on segment assets ~20% → 18.0% → 15.6%: margin up, returns down — AI cloud is structurally heavier than the cloud it replaces
- Retail ex-ads earns ~0.5% margin; NA margin ex a $640M tariff refund was 7.3%, down from 7.5%; International flat 4.1%. Underlying growth is +15%, not +20% (Prime Day moved into Q2)
Watch
- The watchlist called this "the most attractive of the inherited names" at $230.86 with no file. At $277.42 — +20%, 1.3% off the all-time high, top quartile of fair value — that is no longer accurate.
- Skew is the argument: +21% to the bull case, −55% to the bear — and the bear only needs AWS back at 20% growth, where it was four quarters ago.
- Zero open-market insider buys ever; heaviest officer selling at $255-275, right at today's price. ⏳ FTC monopoly trial 10/13 EU DMA cloud gatekeeper decision Nov 2026 — two structural decisions inside 100 days.
🟡 [6.0] 🆕 8/04 分析 — 有史以来第一份文件。持有，不要加仓。 ⚠️ 此前观察清单在 $230.86 时、在没有任何分析文件的情况下称它是"继承来的持仓里最有吸引力的"。现在 $277.42 — 涨了 20%，距历史高点只差 1.3%，处于合理估值区间的最高四分位 — 这个说法已经不成立了。 🚩 22.3 倍的滚动市盈率是个假象： 第二季度净利润 $62.6B / 每股收益 $5.75，但其中 $53.4B 是税前非经营性收益，"主要来自我们对 Anthropic 的投资" — $5.75 里约有 $4.90 是它。剔除后的核心每股收益约 $6.84 → 40.6 倍；前瞻 $10.33 → 26.9 倍才是诚实的锚。关键信号：前瞻每股收益低于滚动每股收益。 Anthropic 账面价值 $190.4B（2025 年 12 月还是 $16.2B），而投入约 $13-18B — 属于第三层级资产、持股比例受限、有锁定期，卖不掉，而且定价参考的二级市场据经纪商说几乎没有卖方。 🚩 过去十二个月自由现金流为 −$7.6B（一年前是 +$18.2B）；2023 财年 $32.2B → 2024 财年 $32.9B → 2025 财年 $7.7B → 转负。2026 财年资本开支上调到 $220B — 原因是内存涨价（正是本仓库今天在 MU 上分析的那个周期）。光是 2026 财年的资本开支指引就超过了此前整整十年的自由现金流总和（约 $151B）。 🚩 76% 的资本开支投向 AWS；零售的资本开支基本持平。 这是一家嫁接在零售商身上的 AI 基础设施公司。 🚩 十年记录：净利润约 $246B，自由现金流约 $151B，返还给股东 $0。 零回购，每年稀释 +2.0%，债务 $251.6B，长期债务半年内从 $65.6B 升到 $128.9B，而且 Jassy 拒绝说明多出来的 $20B 怎么融资 — "没什么可分享的。" 这是唯一一家股东权益份额逐年缩小的超大市值公司。 🚩 $496B 的 AWS 在手订单里约有 48% 是 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 欠的 — 而这两家正是亚马逊用约 $68B 资本扶持起来的，其中一笔 $20B 的授信额度是随着亚马逊交付算力才逐步可提取的。这就是供应商融资。 🚩 AWS 的分部资产回报率 约 20% → 18.0% → 15.6%：利润率在升，回报率在降 — AI 云在结构上比它取代的传统云要"重"得多。 🚩 剔除广告后的零售业务利润率只有 约 0.5%；北美利润率剔除 $640M 关税退款后是 7.3%，低于去年的 7.5%；国际业务持平在 4.1%。真实增速是 +15%，不是 +20%（Prime Day 挪到了第二季度）。 ✅ 真实而且优秀：AWS +36.7%，18 个季度以来最快，营业利润 +63%，利润率 39.4%（+650 个基点），而市场预期只有 31% — 而且这是在亚马逊把服务器折旧年限从 6 年缩短到 5 年的情况下做到的，同行反而在拉长年限。 ✅ 广告 $19.8B +26%，边际利润率接近 100% — 公司最强的护城河，却几乎不占资本开支。 ✅ Kuiper 的 FCC 豁免已于 6/05 批准，延至 2027-07-30。 这次 +20% 的上涨，大约一半是真实的 AWS 重估（合理幅度 +8-12%），另一半是市场把一笔纸面收益当成了利润 — 股票市值增加了约 $500B。 合理估值 $225-290（中值 $255）。加仓 $215-240，强烈买入 <$215。Trim 28x fwd。 ⚠️ 真正的问题是赔率不对称：看多情形 +21%，看空情形 −55% — 而看空情形只需要 AWS 增速回到 20%，也就是四个季度前的水平。 ⚠️ 从来没有过公开市场的内部人买入；高管卖出最密集的区间是 $255-275，正好是现在的股价。 ⏳ FTC 垄断案 10/13 开庭 · 欧盟 DMA 云服务"守门人"裁决 2026 年 11 月 — 100 天内两个结构性裁决。 A2026-08-04

- ✅ Advertising $19.8B +26% at ~100% incremental margin — the strongest moat in the company, and it gets almost no capex.
- ⏳ FTC monopoly trial 10/13 EU DMA cloud gatekeeper decision Nov 2026 — two structural decisions inside 100 days.
- This is no longer "Amazon investing in logistics." It is an AI-infrastructure company bolted onto a retailer — and the money has left the segment where the historical moat was built.
- By product line: Advertising $19.81B +26.2% (near-100% incremental margin, closed-loop purchase data — the strongest moat in the company ), 3P seller services $46.78B +15.9%, Online stores $70.43B +14.6%, Subscriptions $13.73B +12.5%, Physical stores $5.79B +3.6%.
- The 76% goes to the segment with the weakest network effects.
