Amazon Stock (AMZN) Drops Toward $200 as Nasdaq Correction Revives AI Spending Fears
Amazon shares fell 3.9% to $199.34 Friday, among the steepest drops in the S&P 500, as investors sold off major tech and consumer discretionary stocks. The decline followed concerns over Amazon’s rising capital spending, with 2026 outlays projected at $200 billion, and recent disruptions to AWS operations linked to Middle East conflict. Microsoft and Alphabet also dropped more than 2% each.
