## Elevator Pitch

- Pricing discounts to drive volume growth in Q3 FY24's discounts season have masked the benefits of lower freight costs. However, I expect this to improve gross margins in future quarters.
- AWS is enjoying strong operating leverage effects driven by prudent hiring practices, cost efficiencies and the combination of growth and high incremental EBIT margins.
- Amazon stock is attractively valued, and its run up is wholly due to EPS upgrades. This makes it an ideal GARP stock.
- Technicals relative to the market point toward continued outperformance ahead vs. the S&P 500 as the ratio prices look ready to march upwards following a false downside breakout and consolidation.
- Robotics in fulfillment centers are a key monitorable for meaningful gross margin accretion of 25%. To gauge whether there is edge or alpha in this thesis, I am tracking margin surprises vs. consensus expectations.
