AWS's rapid growth in a huge business makes the long-term outlook decisively bullish for Amazon and the AI ecosystem.

Online stores grew 2%, while ads grew 11%, down from 26% last quarter. Trailing free cash flow fell to -$42.4B as net capex reached $210.7B.

A clean operating income guide needs a huge AWS beat to flow through, and people already put out very high AWS numbers.
