Amazon, AutoNation And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday - Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Amazon's Q4 revenue grew 14%, with advertising up 23% and AWS up 24%, while announcing a $200 billion 2026 capital expenditure plan and laying off 30,000 corporate jobs.

  • This past week, Amazon reported a record $213.4 billion in revenue, surpassing Wall Street expectations and increasing year‑end 2025 holiday sales 14%.
  • Amazon management guided a $200 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026, far exceeding estimates as markets showed growing wariness about Big Tech spending on AI and custom chips.
  • AWS revenue rose 24%, its fastest pace in 13 quarters, advertising revenue reached $21.32 billion up 23%, and net income was $21.2 billion with EPS $1.95.
  • Shares plunged more than 11% in extended trading after the quarter, amid corporate workforce reductions of roughly 30,000 roles, nearly 10% of headcount.
  • Analysts say Amazon's AWS growth and cost discipline should support strong free cash flow in the coming year, with UBS raising estimates citing plans to double capacity by 2027.
