Amazon’s $125 billion AI spending spree has investors fixated on what happens in 2026

Amazon’s $125 billion AI spending spree has investors fixated on what happens in 2026

Seattle, January 6, 2026, 10:03 PST Amazon.com shares rose nearly 4% on Tuesday as investors again weighed the company’s outsize spending on artificial intelligence and data centers against the promise of faster growth in 2026. Shares were up about 3.7% at $241.67 in late morning trade. The scrutiny comes as U.S. tech giants pour tens of billions of dollars into the servers, chips and power-hungry facilities needed to train and run new AI models. Investors are pressing for clearer evidence that the spending will translate into sustained profit, not just weaker cash flow. For Amazon, the stakes are highest at

Amazon stock edges up on AWS self-driving push as lawsuit keeps AMZN in focus

Amazon stock edges up on AWS self-driving push as lawsuit keeps AMZN in focus

New York, January 6, 2026, 09:46 EST — Regular session Amazon.com shares were up 0.1% at $233.41 on Tuesday morning after its cloud unit said it would expand a partnership with German automotive hardware supplier Aumovio to support the commercial rollout of self-driving vehicles. The tools are set to be used for Aurora’s planned deployment of driverless trucks at scale from 2027, the companies said, and an Aumovio executive said AI helps surface rare “edge cases” during validation. The stock traded between $231.75 and $233.88 after opening at $232.39. Reuters The tie-up keeps attention on AWS as investors look for

Amazon stock slips at the open as AI inflation fears resurface; what’s next for AMZN

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:32 EST — Regular session Amazon.com shares slid in early trading on Monday, falling 1.9% to $226.50. The drop comes as investors start 2026 re-testing a market assumption: that aggressive spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure won’t rekindle inflation. “The costs are going up not down in our forecast, because there’s inflation in chip costs and inflation in power costs,” Morgan Stanley strategist Andrew Sheets said in a Reuters report on the risk. Reuters That matters for Amazon because Amazon Web Services is a major buyer of data-center hardware and power, and the stock has tended

Amazon stock steadies in premarket as Evercore flags Rufus AI as the next AMZN catalyst

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 07:40 ET — Premarket Amazon.com (AMZN) shares were little changed in premarket trading on Monday, around $226.50, after Evercore ISI reiterated a buy rating and a $335 price target, pointing to the retailer’s AI shopping assistant Rufus. Evercore analyst Mark Mahaney said “agentic commerce” — AI that can take actions for shoppers — is “coming very soon,” and he projected it could add up to $31 billion to Amazon’s 2028 revenue, TipRanks reported. TipRanks The call lands as investors look for measurable payoffs from consumer-facing AI, not just bigger data-center budgets. For Amazon, the fastest

Amazon stock today: AMZN slips as 2026 opens, $235 options level in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:35 ET — Market closed Amazon.com, Inc. shares fell 1.9% on Friday to close at $226.50, slipping as investors opened 2026 with a mixed appetite for mega-cap tech. The stock traded between $224.71 and $235.39, with about 51.5 million shares changing hands. The move matters now because Amazon is heading into the heart of January’s macro and earnings calendar after the holiday-quarter shopping period, when investors tend to reset positions and reassess growth and spending plans. Wall Street broadly steadied after a late-2025 slide, but heavyweights including Amazon weighed on gains that were led by

Amazon stock today: AMZN slips as 2026 kicks off, with AI spending and Fed bets in focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 09:41 ET — Regular session Amazon.com, Inc. shares (AMZN) fell 0.7% to $230.82 in early trading on Friday. The stock is one of the “Magnificent Seven” — a group of the biggest U.S. tech-related companies — that helped drive a third straight year of double-digit gains for the broader market in 2025 on AI optimism and lower interest rates. “Everything firing on all cylinders” is needed for another strong year, Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, said in a Reuters report.

Amazon stock ticks up as court blocks NLRB challenge; what AMZN investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:07 PM ET — After-hours Amazon.com, Inc. shares ended slightly higher on Tuesday as investors digested a U.S. appeals court ruling that kept a labor-board case on the agency track. The stock closed up 0.18% at $232.49. Investing.com The legal backdrop matters for Amazon because labor rules can influence how it runs its delivery network and what it pays to keep packages moving on time. For investors, the key question is whether regulatory decisions add friction to a model built on scale and tight cost control. The court decision also landed in holiday-thin trading, when

Amazon stock braces for Monday after Amazon scraps Italy drone deliveries

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:43 ET — Market closed Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares will be in focus when U.S. trading resumes on Monday after the company halted plans for commercial drone deliveries in Italy, citing regulatory hurdles. The stock last closed up $0.15, or 0.1%, at $232.52 on Friday. Reuters The decision puts a spotlight on the practical barriers to scaling new delivery technology overseas, even for the world’s largest online retailer. It is also a reminder that regulatory risk can intrude on experimental logistics projects that investors view as longer-term cost and service levers. Reuters The update arrived as

Amazon Stock (AMZN) Update: Drone Delivery Plans Scrapped in Italy as Wall Street Heads Into the Final Week of 2025

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 9:52 a.m. ET — Market Closed Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) heads into the final trading days of 2025 with U.S. markets shut for the weekend and investors weighing a fresh company headline against a broadly upbeat year-end tape. The most notable Amazon-specific news in the past 24–48 hours: the company said it will halt plans to launch commercial drone deliveries in Italy, citing the country’s broader regulatory environment after what it described as constructive engagement with aerospace authorities. Reuters For shareholders, the near-term question is whether the Italy drone decision is treated as a one-off

Amazon.com Stock (AMZN) News Today: After‑Hours Price, AWS AI Catalysts, Analyst Targets, and What to Watch Before the Next Session

New York, Friday, December 26, 2025 (4:56 p.m. ET) — Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) finished a quiet, post‑Christmas session and is now trading in extended hours. As of 4:56 p.m. ET, Amazon shares last changed hands around $232.52, essentially flat on the day. That “near‑unchanged” tape wasn’t unique to Amazon. U.S. equities ended Friday’s light, post‑holiday session close to record territory with muted moves and thin volume—exactly the kind of market backdrop where single headlines can move mega‑caps more than the day’s macro data.

Amazon Stock (AMZN) After the Bell on Dec. 25, 2025: Latest AWS, AI, and Zoox Headlines to Know Before Friday’s Market Open

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) goes into the day-after-Christmas session with a slightly unusual setup: U.S. markets are closed today (Thursday, Dec. 25, 2025) for Christmas Day, so there is no “closing bell” price action to digest tonight. Instead, investors are carrying forward the last trade from Wednesday’s holiday-shortened session, when AMZN last changed hands around $232.38. Nasdaq That matters because the next meaningful repricing for Amazon stock will likely happen at the open on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, when normal liquidity returns and any Christmas Day headlines can finally be reflected in price.
