Amazon Stock Price Fades as Capital Expenditure Concerns Grow

Amazon's stock price has been underperforming lately, down 11% from its August peak and sitting below its 100-day moving average. The company's recent trajectory has been consistently negative, with a decline of 5.8% over the past 30 days.

The stock gapped higher on the reopen after the Labor Day break but reversed its entire move plus some within a single session. This indicates that the market is rejecting the higher price rather than accepting it.

Average sell-side targets sit at $328.17, with a high estimate of $405 and a low of $230. However, the stock is trading 22% below this consensus target, suggesting that investors are disagreeing with analysts about something specific - namely, capital expenditure.
