  • Amazon Stock Rebounds Nearly 15% on AWS Growth and AI Demand
    April 10, 2026, 8:20 PM EDT. Amazon shares have surged nearly 15% this month amid fading U.S.-Iran tensions and strong business results. The rally is underpinned by robust growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS), its cloud division, which saw 24% revenue growth driven by soaring AI-related demand. CEO Andy Jassy's plan to invest $200 billion in capital expenditures, focused on cloud infrastructure, signals long-term expansion rather than margin pressure. Amazon's advertising and subscription segments also show healthy double-digit growth, supporting higher margins. Despite a slight Q4 earnings miss due to special charges, Amazon beat sales expectations at $213.38 billion. The tech giant maintains a strong balance sheet with $123 billion in cash and $818 billion in assets versus $407 billion in liabilities. Analysts project 8% EPS growth in 2026 and 20% in 2027, but Zacks assigns a Hold rating, suggesting cautious optimism.
