Amazon shares inch higher as investors watch AWS AI bets
Amazon.com Inc ticked higher late Thursday while the Nasdaq slipped. The move was modest but gave investors a clearer signal than the overall index performance. Traders looked at AWS’s newest AI-services pitch as a shot at turning big AI outlays into actual customer sales, instead of just higher data center costs. Shares last traded at $242.67, up 82 cents, or 0.34%, with 47.2 million shares changing hands. Market cap is around $2.64 trillion.
