So I just came across something interesting about how the big money is moving right now. Chase Coleman III, who runs Tiger Global Management - you know, one of the original tiger cubs from Julian Robertson's legendary hedge fund - just massively increased their Amazon position. We're talking 4 million shares added, making it their fourth-largest holding. And honestly, the timing is worth paying attention to.

Chase Coleman isn't exactly a household name like some other billionaires, but in hedge fund circles he's basically royalty. His fund manages over 34 billion in securities, so when someone like that makes a move, it usually tells you something about where smart money sees value.

Here's what caught my eye: Amazon's valuation has completely shifted from where it was three years ago. Back during the pandemic era, the stock was absolutely insane - trading at 110x earnings, even more expensive than Tesla at the time. The company had bloated its warehouse and delivery network during lockdowns and suddenly had way too much capacity. They also took a massive 12.7 billion paper loss on Rivian investments. So the stock got crushed in 2022, down nearly 50%.

But here's the thing - while the stock price was falling, Amazon was actually fixing its business. Net income jumped over 500% to reach 70.6 billion. Now the P/E ratio sits at 34x, which is way more reasonable. And that's apparently what caught Chase Coleman's attention.

For a company valued at 2.4 trillion, the growth numbers are still pretty wild. Last quarter they saw 13% net sales growth, with AWS specifically growing 17.5%. That cloud business is the real money maker - only 18.4% of total revenue but responsible for over half of all profits. AWS keeps landing major new deals too, whether it's Adobe, Uber, PepsiCo, or Airbnb.

What's interesting is how much room Amazon still has. E-commerce only accounts for about 15.5% of U.S. retail sales, so there's massive runway there. And AWS keeps rolling out new tools every quarter - they just released things like Kiro and Strands Agents that make it easier for developers to build applications.

Chase Coleman seems to be betting that Amazon's size and scale will keep driving innovation and efficiency gains. The stock price dipped slightly, which apparently looked attractive enough for him to double down. If a hedge fund manager with that track record is loading up on shares, it's worth taking seriously. Even if you're not managing billions like he is.
