Amazon reached a $3 trillion market cap driven by AWS's 37% year-over-year growth to a $169 billion annual run rate, fueled by strong AI demand. CEO Andy Jassy increased 2026 capital expenditure to $220 billion due to higher memory costs and intense AWS capacity booking through 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AWS capacity is becoming scarce rapidly, forcing you to act now if your 2027 workloads depend on it and you haven't secured contracts. Higher cloud demand and capex show pricing power slipping away from buyers to Amazon.
