Amazon stock slides as $200B AI spending plan meets cautious profit outlook

Amazon stock slides as $200B AI spending plan meets cautious profit outlook

Amazon.com shares were down 9% Friday as investors balked at the company’s warning of some $200 billion in capex planned for 2026, plus a muted profit forecast. If that slide persists, Amazon’s market cap shrinks by about $200 billion. CEO Andy Jassy pointed to AWS’s 24% revenue jump, though that lags behind Azure, up 39%, and Google Cloud, which grew 48%. The drop highlighted just how skittish investors have gotten over AI costs that hit the bottom line, rather than being tucked away in R&D budgets. Some Wall Street analysts are still backing Amazon, though they've pulled back on their price targets after the latest results. Shares have lost roughly 9% since the start of the year.

Amazon stock slides on $200B AI spending shock — here’s what Wall Street watches next

New York, Feb 6, 2026, 15:05 — Regular session Amazon.com shares slid $15.56, or close to 7%, to $207.13 in Friday afternoon trading, after the company laid out a plan for about $200 billion in capital expenditures in 2026. The selloff took the stock as low as $200.44 during the session, putting nearly $200 billion in market cap on the line if the drop holds. “The magnitude of the spend is materially greater than consensus expected,” MoffettNathanson noted.

Wall Street Tech Sell-Off Gets a New Test as Amazon’s $200 Billion AI Spend Plan Bites

Wall Street Tech Sell-Off Gets a New Test as Amazon’s $200 Billion AI Spend Plan Bites

After a tough week for tech stocks, Wall Street’s key indexes bounced back on Friday, though Amazon took a hit as investors absorbed another surge in Big Tech’s AI spending. By 9:33 a.m. ET, the Dow had climbed 1.08%, the S&P 500 rose 0.88%, and the Nasdaq added 0.77%. Kristina Hooper, chief market strategist at Man Group, noted that investors are now entering “a period of greater discernment” when it comes to AI bets. The recent rebound did little to ease jitters after a swift change in sentiment around AI-related stocks. Tech giants are set to spend roughly $600 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026, yet software and data analytics companies have fallen amid concerns that advanced models could cut into demand. “Headlines that once would have sent shares soaring during the height of AI enthusiasm are now met with much more caution from investors,” said Carlota Estragues Lopez, equity strategist at St. James’s Place in London.
