Bull Case
Trading at 22.7x forward earnings, Amazon is priced below typical software peers despite its 15.8% revenue growth and AWS's entrenched position.
Bear Case
With forward EPS expected to shrink by -11.6%, even a modest P/E compression to the sector median would erase much of the recent 17.35% gain.
Catalyst to Watch
Watch AWS segment growth and margin trends—any acceleration or further slowdown will directly affect sentiment given the -11.6% EPS outlook.
