Amazon (AMZN) declined 1.53% over the past 24 hours to $248.07 as investors scaled back positions ahead of its upcoming Q3 earnings release.1 Pressure mounted amid growing market caution surrounding the company's escalating AI capital expenditure plans, which have sparked concerns over free cash flow compression and return-on-capital timelines despite solid cloud growth.2 The pullback was further compounded by broader profit-taking and consolidation across mega-cap technology equities following mid-October gains.3
