About the company

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • AI drives growth: AWS's AI and custom-chip sales each more than doubled, passing $25 billion a year by June 2026.
  • Stock grants gained value: shares hit a record in August 2026, making Amazon the fifth company to reach $3 trillion.
  • Ads are a third engine beside stores and AWS: they grew 26% to $19.8 billion in the June 2026 quarter.

What critics are saying

  • AWS's lead is shrinking: in the June 2026 quarter, Google Cloud grew 82% and Microsoft's Azure 43%, versus AWS's 37%.
  • Job security has slipped: Amazon cut 30,000 corporate jobs in October 2025 and January 2026 to reduce management layers.
  • Expect five office days a week: Amazon ended its three-day hybrid policy for corporate staff in January 2025.

What makes Amazon unique

  • Most of Amazon's profit comes from cloud: AWS made 21% of sales but 60% of operating profit in mid-2026.
  • Amazon is America's biggest parcel carrier by volume: it handled 6.9 billion packages in 2025, more than the Postal Service.
  • Writing matters more than slides: Amazon meetings open with silent reading of a six-page memo instead of PowerPoint.

Amazon says Prime Video is profitable, while Apple TV+ reportedly loses over $1B a year

Amazon says its Prime Video is now profitable, while Apple's streaming service reportedly still loses money. Amazon chief executive officer Andy Jassy said on the third-quarter earnings call that Prime Video has a revenue run rate in the tens of billions of dollars. Amazon does not report its financials separately, but the ad tier reaches more than 315 million monthly active users, including more than 130 million in the US, according to The Wrap. Users can pay $4.99 a month for an ad-free version. Apple TV+ loses more than $1 billion a year, The Information reported. Apple spends about $4.5 billion on content annually, down from $5 billion, and the service has about 45 million subscribers at $14.99 a month.

Nvidia, Amazon and Alphabet: 3 AI stocks to buy in November after 10% post-earnings dip

A Motley Fool columnist names Amazon, Alphabet, and Nvidia as top AI stocks to buy in November. Amazon and Alphabet fell after their latest earnings, which he calls short-sighted. Google Cloud revenue rose 103% in the third quarter, lifting Alphabet's overall growth to 25%. The stock still dropped more than 10% the next day. Amazon Web Services grew 39% and makes up 63% of Amazon's operating profits. Both companies plan to spend $200 billion or more on capital expenditure this year. Nvidia has guided for 70% revenue growth in 2027 and trades at 26 times trailing earnings, or 13 times next year's projected earnings. If it returned to 26 times, the columnist says, the stock would double.

Amazon's $2B Ohio data centre faces vote as 41 AI infrastructure measures go to ballot

Amazon's planned $2 billion data center in Sunbury, Ohio, faces a threat on Tuesday, when residents vote on a measure that could block it. The ban would cover facilities needing more than 25 megawatts of electricity. It is one of 41 data-center ballot measures across 10 states. Of these, 28 would restrict development and 13 would ease it; Ohio accounts for 21. Voters backed tighter limits in all six measures decided earlier this year, with 66% to 90% in favour. Amazon won tax incentives in 2024, promising 50 permanent jobs, but the city has imposed a moratorium through January 2027. Residents cite electricity demand, water use, and noise. Amazon declined to say whether the votes would alter its expansion plans.

Amazon jumps 5% as Phillip Securities upgrades to Buy with $330 target

Amazon shares jumped 5% after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy with a $330 price target. Investors had sold the stock on Friday over artificial intelligence spending that outran cash flow, as they did at Alphabet and Meta Platforms. Phillip analyst Helena Wang pointed to strong demand. Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue grew 39% to $46.0 billion last quarter, and its backlog reached $578 billion. Capital spending hit $77.3 billion in the September quarter, leaving free cash flow at a $42.4 billion outflow over the past twelve months. Chief executive officer Andy Jassy said Amazon expects to "spend meaningfully more in 2027." Amazon's forward price-to-earnings ratio fell to 24x on Friday, its lowest in five years.

CarbiCrete supplies Amazon with 6,400m² of cement-free pavers at UK delivery station

CarbiCrete has supplied Amazon with cement-free concrete products for a new Amazon UK delivery station in Stockton-on-Tees. It is the first wide-scale deployment of the Montreal-based company's cement-free pavers anywhere in the world. The products cover about 6,400m² of parking spaces and footpaths. The site is Amazon's first building to pursue version 1.1 of Living Future's Zero Carbon Certification. CarbiCrete replaces all the cement in its products with a steel-making by-product and cures the concrete with carbon dioxide, which stays stored in the material. Cement production accounts for about 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. CarbiCrete is now exploring future projects, including with Amazon, through its manufacturing sites in Canada, Europe, the US, and Australia.
