Cloud Oversupply Threatens Amazon Valuation and AWS Margins

Amazon.com, Inc. faces structural risks to its $2.7 trillion capitalization due to an impending oversupply in the cloud computing market. While the company maintains a forward P/E of 19, its financial stability is heavily tied to Amazon Web Services (AWS), which generates 60% of total profit from only 21% of revenue.

Analysts warn that the capital-intensive nature of cloud expansion may trigger deflationary pricing across the industry. This shift could lead to margin compression for AWS, potentially eroding the premium valuation currently supported by investor optimism regarding the cloud sector.
