Why You Should Be Optimistic in Amazon.com’s (AMZN) Outlook?
L1 Capital International Fund's Q2 2026 investor letter highlights optimism for Amazon.com (AMZN), citing improving ecommerce operational execution and underappreciated long-term potential in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AI-related capital investments. The fund notes Amazon's June 2026 expansion of Freight services into the less-than-truckload market as a sign of logistics network maturity. Despite expected negative free cash flow from rising AWS capex, the fund believes the market overfocuses on near-term cash flow and undervalues the structural opportunity for hyperscalers. Amazon's Q1 2026 revenue grew 17% year-over-year to $181.5 billion. The stock closed at $247.23 on July 16, 2026, with a market cap of $2.69 trillion. The fund returned +2.6% in the quarter versus a 12.5% benchmark, with underperformance driven by holdings not in the portfolio.
