Why we feature AMZN: E-commerce + AWS cloud powerhouse with growing AI infrastructure exposure.
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) overview
Amazon generates roughly two-thirds of its revenue from e-commerce (online retail, third-party seller services, advertising) and about a third from AWS (Amazon Web Services — the world’s largest cloud-computing provider, contributing the majority of profit). Listed on NASDAQ under ticker AMZN.
What moves AMZN
- AWS growth rate — the highest-multiple business inside Amazon; drives valuation
- Retail margins — Prime Day / Q4 holiday performance
- Advertising revenue — Amazon Ads is now a $50bn+/yr business, hidden inside retail segment
- Capex cycle — AI data-centre buildout adds tens of billions in spend
- Antitrust + regulation — FTC scrutiny, EU DMA compliance
