Amazon’s 2.3% drop isn’t really about AI spending panic — it’s classic post-rally digestion + Bezos supply overhang.

Stock just hit a record high and crossed $3T after AWS grew 37% (fastest in 18 quarters), margins expanded, and the backlog exploded. That was the market finally rewarding the heavy capex instead of punishing it. Then Bezos files to sell ~$4.1B under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan from last November, and boom — profit-taking hits.

This is noise, not a fundamental crack. The real story is that the $220B AI spend is starting to convert into actual demand and profitability at AWS. Earlier this year the market freaked over the same spending. Now it’s getting proof of concept.

Short-term overhang from the sale is real. Long-term, if AWS keeps accelerating, these dips keep getting bought. The AI bill is still huge, but the returns are finally showing up on the scoreboard.
