Amazon’s free cash flow took a hit, plunging to -$7.6B from +$18.2B a year ago — a $26B swing — yet its stock surged 15%. Why? Because operating cash flow jumped 33%, driven by record sales growth and AWS hitting its fastest quarterly expansion in 18 quarters. The cash drain? Heavy investment in AI and infrastructure, including custom chip development, now running at over $25B annually. Investors see this as strategic spending for future dominance, betting the short-term dip is just fuel for long-term rocketship growth.
