While the broader Nasdaq slipped amid tech anxieties, Amazon's stock showed real relative strength, jumping 1.8% in recent trading. Wall Street is increasingly distinguishing between companies merely promising AI returns and those actively cashing in—and Amazon is doing the latter. Backed by an explosive 37% surge in AWS revenue to $42.2 billion, investors are rewarding the tech giant's visible cloud momentum.
