The Invesco QQQ Trust has delivered 111% returns over five years and now trades at a weighted-average P/E of 36.5, driven by heavy positions in AI-focused companies including Amazon. This elevated valuation heightens downside risk for Amazon stock if anticipated AI-driven revenue growth fails to meet lofty market expectations.
Amazon shares ticked up 0.40% while the Nasdaq declined as investors pivot toward the start of second-quarter earnings season. With Amazon’s own results on deck, focus will center on the company’s AI investment levels and guidance for the remainder of the year.
