Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN<\/a>), the e-commerce and cloud-computing giant, dropped<\/a> approximately 2.1% to $260.90 Monday as the 10-year Treasury yield charged toward 4.75%. Reuters reported that renewed inflation fears pushed the market-implied probability of a September Federal Reserve rate increase above 60%. Bond yields went up. Amazon went down. The reason is sitting inside its AI spending bill. <\/p>\n

Amazon’s cash engine is roaring, but its capital expenditures are roaring louder. The company’s second-quarter filing<\/a> showed trailing operating cash flow jumping 33% to $161.4 billion, while free cash flow flipped from an $18.2 billion inflow to a $7.6 billion outflow. That ugly reversal followed a $66.1 billion increase in property and equipment purchases as Amazon poured money into AI infrastructure. <\/p>\n

The chart adds another pressure point: Amazon’s $260.90 share price sits 5.55% above its $247.18 GF Value, leaving little room for an AI payoff that takes longer than expected. AWS may eventually turn those servers into a cash machine. For now, investors see a $25.8 billion free-cash-flow swing and a rising risk-free rate. When money gets more expensive, patience gets cheaper. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
