Summary

Compute, ads, and robots compound into 2030
AWS becomes the agent runtime while retail media and CTV scale globally; robotics and energy verticalization compress costs. Size caps upside, but a 2–3x path by 2030 is credible.

Analysis

Thesis
By 2030 Amazon compounds compute, ads, and logistics flywheels into a $1T+ revenue platform: AWS as AI/agent runtime, retail media + CTV scaled globally, and robotics-driven fulfillment sold as a service.

Growth Outlook

Average Implied Multiple (to 2030)
2.5x (from 1 most recent periods)
Reasoning
H1’25 sales $323B with Q2 growth 13% and AWS +18% y/y; ad +23% aided by Prime Video ads. Cloud TAM >$400B in ’25 growing >20% CAGR; digital ads ≈$1.08T and global e‑commerce ≈$6.4T in ’25. With AgentCore/Bedrock, Alexa+ bundled in Prime, NBA/CTV inventory, and $30B+ quarterly cloud run‑rate plus $10–$20B state‑level DC projects, a path to ~$1.2T revenue and ~$5–6T cap by 2030 is plausible, but sheer scale tempers upside to ~2–3x.

Risk Assessment

Overall Risk Summary
Key risks: hyperscaler AI share shifts; sustained capex/energy constraints; policy shocks (tariffs/ads privacy); slower Prime/CTV monetization; compute tax or grid bottlenecks delaying AI ROI.
