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 vs Target: $716.9B revenue and AI edge beat Target's $104.8B for long-term investors

A comparison of Amazon and Target puts the e-commerce giant well ahead on growth and profit, while Target trades at lower valuations. Amazon's FY 2025 revenue reached $716.9 billion, up nearly 12.4%. Net income was $77.7 billion, a net margin of close to 10.8%, and operating cash flow was $161.4 billion. Target's revenue fell nearly 1.7% to $104.8 billion, with net income of $3.7 billion, a 3.5% margin. Its debt-to-equity ratio is 107.5%, against 45.6% for Amazon. Target looks cheaper, with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15.6 against Amazon's 23.6. The author still favours Amazon for its AI exposure and 28% share of the cloud infrastructure market through Amazon Web Services.

Jefferies: Amazon automation and $27B logistics spend could lift retail margins

Amazon could widen its retail margins through warehouse automation and a larger logistics network, Jefferies says. The broker sees automation as a long-term edge that cuts exposure to labour shortages and wage inflation, even if near-term savings are limited. Amazon has deployed more than 1 million robots, yet only 40% to 45% of its US small-sortable fulfilment centres are highly automated, a logistics expert estimates. A $1 hourly wage rise for warehouse and driver staff would add about $1.1 billion to operating costs. Amazon has about $27 billion in visible capital spending planned over the next couple of years. It could also grow its US delivery stations from about 575 to 950 by 2030, taking on more parcels now handled by UPS and the US Postal Service. Grocery remains hard, with delivery costs of $10 to $12 per order.

Alphabet over Amazon: why cloud growth of 82% and higher margins win for the next decade

A Motley Fool columnist says that if he could hold only one of Amazon or Alphabet for the next decade, he would pick Alphabet, though he owns both and advises buying both. He cites Alphabet's strength in AI cloud services. In the second quarter, Google Cloud revenue rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion, while Amazon Web Services grew 37% to $42.2 billion. Alphabet's total revenue rose 24% to $119.8 billion; Amazon's rose 20% to $200.6 billion. Alphabet also earns higher margins, as it relies on digital advertising, while Amazon's e-commerce business has thin margins. Alphabet trades at 21.8x forward earnings, and Amazon at 23.6x.

Amazon to invest $18.1B in Germany by 2027 and back small modular nuclear reactor project

Amazon plans to invest €16 billion in Germany by 2027 to expand its AWS cloud infrastructure, AI, and logistics. The programme includes new AWS data centre capacity in several German regions and a robotics and AI research lab in Berlin. Amazon also signed a multi-party agreement with American Electric Power and X Energy to work on a small modular nuclear reactor project. Investors will watch how much of the planned 960MW Indiana nuclear output Amazon secures by contract. They will also look for German AI and cloud contract wins tied to the new capacity. The moves could ease energy constraints on AWS and support its $225 billion Trainium commitment.

Amazon's TorchNeuron lets PyTorch code run on Trainium chips, challenging Nvidia's CUDA lead

Amazon is introducing software that lets developers move existing code to its AI chips with minimal changes. The system, called TorchNeuron, lets PyTorch-based applications run on Amazon's Trainium chips after a single configuration adjustment. Amazon presented the tool at a developer conference in Silicon Valley and plans to release it free as an open-source project. The move challenges Nvidia, whose CUDA software has helped developers optimise AI workloads on its graphics processing units. Easier switching between chip platforms could give cloud customers more choice in computing infrastructure. Alphabet is also promoting its own AI processors as big tech firms look for alternatives to Nvidia. Nvidia, meanwhile, has introduced an Open Agent Safety Platform to help developers manage AI agents.
