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.
