Amazon's cloud acceleration strengthened confidence that Alphabet's own infrastructure investments could generate measurable revenue growth.
Blowout cloud earnings and a sudden geopolitical thaw sent the biggest AI names surging Monday, but the question investors are scrambling to answer is whether the rally signals a lasting regime change or just a relief bounce before the next round of capex anxiety.
AWS just posted its fastest cloud growth in 18 quarters, and Wall Street is still scrambling to price it in. Our conviction call on Amazon sits far above analyst consensus, and the gap reveals something most models are missing.
