Amazon gains $80 billion as AWS GPU prices top Prime Day sales
Amazon.com, Inc. heads into Tuesday’s New York pre-market with shares gaining about $80 billion in equity value on Monday. This comes as its Prime Day sales event generated $26.4 billion in U.S. online retail spend. Nasdaq’s regular session was still closed at press time. Pre-market runs 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET, with regular trading 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. There’s no June 30 closure on Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday list. Amazon finished Monday at $240.14, climbing $7.45, or 3.2%. Volume hit 77.62 million shares, which is 154% of the 65-day average. MarketWatch lists 10.76 billion shares outstanding for Amazon, so the move implies a roughly $80.2 billion increase in equity.
