Amazon (AMZN) is trading near $248 per share ahead of its upcoming earnings report, after guiding to $220 billion in capital expenditures this year to expand its AI data center footprint; the article argues the company can self-fund this from cash generated by its operations. In its latest quarter, revenue rose 20% year-over-year to $200.6 billion and operating income rose 43% to $27.5 billion; AWS grew 36.7% to $42.2 billion, while digital advertising rose 26% to $19.8 billion. Over the trailing twelve months, the company generated $161.4 billion in operating cash flow and $93.7 billion in operating income, and it is exploring moving about $8 billion of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell chips into a special purpose vehicle and leasing back the compute capacity. Analysts hold a consensus Buy rating with a median price target of $331.72, pointing to 34% upside from current levels.

- The Hidden $496 Billion Catalyst Waiting to Ignite Amazon Stock on Oct. 29
Amazon reports third-quarter results after the bell on Thursday, Oct. 29, and the article highlights its $496 billion AWS backlog as the key item to watch for conversion into revenue. Last quarter, Amazon's revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion, while AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, and GAAP EPS of $5.75 included a $53.4 billion pre-tax gain on Anthropic. Management raised its 2026 cash capex forecast to roughly $220 billion from about $200 billion, citing higher memory costs, and guided third-quarter net sales to $197.0 billion to $202.0 billion and operating income to $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion. The author also focuses on AWS margins, which expanded 650 basis points year over year, and on trailing free cash flow of negative $7.6 billion, while CEO Andy Jassy said capacity remains the constraint on meeting 2026 demand. Shares were at $248, up 7.44% year to date.
- Amazon’s AWS Has Already Sold “a Good Chunk” of 2028 Capacity
On an Andreessen Horowitz podcast on Oct. 23, 2026, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said AWS capacity for 2027 is largely sold out and a good chunk of 2028 is sold as well, though Amazon has not disclosed the contracted capacity or backlog figures behind the phrase. AWS revenue rose 37% to $42.2 billion in Q2 2026, and Amazon has disclosed more than $225 billion in future Trainium revenue commitments. However, Amazon plans to spend about $220 billion on capex in 2026, trailing 12-month free cash flow was a $7.6 billion outflow, and much of the booked capacity goes to AI labs whose long commitments could be renegotiated if their funding tightens. Amazon closed at $248.00 on Oct. 23, with a market cap of about $2.68 trillion, and its Q3 report is due Oct. 29, 2026.
- Amazon Spent More on Data Centers Last Quarter Than AWS Earned in Revenue. Should Investors Worry?
AWS, Amazon's cloud unit, generated about $42 billion in revenue in the second quarter, up 36% year over year, with an annual run rate of $169 billion. In the same quarter, Amazon's cash capital expenditures totaled just over $53 billion, mostly tied to AWS and generative AI and about $10 billion above AWS's quarterly revenue. Amazon raised its 2026 capex forecast by $20 billion to about $220 billion. Management says demand is already present: AWS's backlog of contracted future revenue reached $496 billion and is growing at a triple-digit rate, and Andy Jassy says Amazon still cannot meet 2026 demand even at this spending level. The author sees this as a bet on timing, with free cash flow likely under pressure until the new data centers and servers start generating returns, so the key thing to watch is whether AWS revenue keeps accelerating alongside capex.
- Is Amazon Spending Too Much On AI?
Amazon spent $173 billion on capital projects over the 12 months to June 2026, more than the $161 billion its operations generated, leaving free cash flow at negative $11.6 billion versus positive $13.5 billion a year earlier. Total debt rose to $223 billion from $134 billion, and interest expense increased to $3.33 billion from $2.23 billion. Management attributes the spending mainly to AWS and generative AI to meet strong customer demand, citing a backlog of $496 billion and $53.1 billion in cash capital spending in fiscal Q2 2026. Operating margin reached 12.1%, its highest across the 40 quarter ends since fiscal Q3 2016, with operating income at $93.7 billion versus $76.2 billion, yet operating cash flow still fell short of the build. Alphabet recorded $53.3 billion in free cash flow over the same period, while Amazon posted negative free cash flow of $18.2 billion in fiscal Q1 2026 and negative $8.82 billion in fiscal Q2 2026.
- I'd Buy Half a Position in Amazon Stock Before Its Oct. 29 Report -- and Half After
The author still views Amazon (AMZN) favorably but says the stock's direction after the October 29 third-quarter report is uncertain, so he proposes splitting the purchase: half before the report and half after. The stock rose about 15% after the July 30 report and fell about 6% after the fourth-quarter report; it trades near $252, about 11% below its August 3 closing high of $284.02. AWS sales growth accelerated for five straight quarters to 37% in the second quarter of 2026, and total operating income reached $27.5 billion, up 43%. Third-quarter operating income guidance is $22.5–26.5 billion, while trailing 12-month free cash flow was a $7.6 billion outflow due to heavy AI spending.
- Wells Fargo Names Top Pick Ahead of Q3 Earnings
Wells Fargo named Amazon its top long position and preferred mega-cap stock heading into third-quarter earnings, expecting another positive revision to AWS revenue and operating income. The firm cites AWS revenue acceleration and strong margins as the main drivers, while acknowledging near-term operating income risks from fuel costs and longer-term uncertainty around agentic commerce. It views Amazon's setup as more straightforward than other mega-cap tech names, where hedge fund positioning adds complications. Wells Fargo also sees AWS as the key driver of positive estimate revisions after the report.

- Canada opens consultation on draft stablecoin rules, maintains ban on yields
Canada's government opened a 60-day consultation on draft stablecoin rules, ending December 23, that keep the ban on yield payments while allowing transaction-based rewards. Under the draft, non-bank issuers would hold reserves equal to circulating tokens at qualified Canadian financial institutions and redeem within three business days, with fees capped at 1%. The Canadian Bankers Association supports the yield ban, while some Canadian exchanges, including Coinbase Canada, already pay rewards after receiving Ontario Securities Commission permission. The rules are expected to take effect toward the end of 2027 as banks develop tokenized deposits and Canadian-dollar stablecoins.
- Anthropic's IPO filing sheds new light on who stands to make money from public debut
Anthropic's IPO filing outlines financing from its biggest backers ahead of a possible November listing that could rival SpaceX's as the largest IPO in history. Alphabet's agreement could provide up to $20 billion, reduced by up to $10 billion if Google buys nonvoting stock alongside the offering, and carries a 14.99% ownership cap that it can waive; no funds had been drawn as of June 30. Amazon holds about $6.2 billion in convertible notes that could convert into roughly 1.84 billion nonvoting shares under a 12% cap, and it has agreed to provide up to $15 billion more tied to computing milestones. Both companies also benefit from business ties beyond equity: Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, more than all of last year, but spent nearly $9 billion on computing and infrastructure and has committed roughly $450 billion to cloud computing. A PitchBook analyst said Amazon could 'win twice' through compute sales and investment.
- Should You Buy Dogecoin While It's Below $1?
The article argues Dogecoin, down 32% in 2026 as of writing, struggles to shed its meme-coin image even after the Dogecoin Foundation created Dogecoin Labs on October 21 to combine DogeOS, MyDoge and Such App. The author notes that Dogechain, launched in 2025, drew negligible total value locked and shut down earlier this year, and that DOGE payments at businesses owned by Elon Musk have not reached scale. New spot Dogecoin ETFs have seen little investor inflow, suggesting limited institutional support, so price action depends mainly on retail investors. The author considers a move to $1 highly improbable, with the coin trading at a 90% discount to its all-time high.
- How 'the Anthropic story' resembles Amazon's AWS bet
Bing Gordon, an EA founding executive, discussed Anthropic's upcoming IPO (ANTH.PVT) with Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi. He compared it to Jeff Bezos's push to keep approving heavy AWS capex while Amazon had no free cash flow early on, including one year of $75 billion that unsettled the board. Gordon said markets are usually poor at judging returns three or four years out, and he framed Anthropic's spending as a similar bet that investment will pay off in that window. He added that Amazon was once seen as a cash-losing business, and that moving from investment to profit is an act of faith in execution.
- Wall Street’s Smart Money Just Suffered a Shock Not Seen Since the COVID Crash
On October 22, all three hedge fund strategies tracked by Goldman Sachs lost more than 1%, the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic that fundamental long-short, systematic and multi-strategy funds posted simultaneous losses above that level, according to a Reuters report citing Goldman's prime brokerage data. The selloff hit crowded AI and technology positions: Meta fell 7% after announcing plans to issue a new share class to raise capital, Nvidia dropped 4%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.6%, its worst session since June 5. Some funds cut leverage and sold holdings to limit losses, which can add pressure on prices, while global fundamental long-short funds remained up 8.8% year to date. The article frames this as a warning about concentration in one investment theme rather than a prediction of a market crash, and suggests investors check how much of their portfolio depends on the same few technology companies.
- CoreWeave, AI landlord stocks sink to lowest levels in more than a year as the price of insuring CoreWeave's debt doubles
Neoclouds, which borrow heavily to buy Nvidia chips and rent out AI computing power, are being sold off: a Yahoo Finance basket of eight has fallen more than 40% since late July, while Microsoft has gained nearly as much. CoreWeave (CRWV) closed at its lowest since May 2025, and Bloomberg data shows the cost of insuring its debt against default has more than doubled since early June. By Yahoo Finance calculations, current prices imply better-than-even odds of a CoreWeave default within five years, double the odds of a year ago, though the article stresses this reflects fear rather than a forecast. Nebius (NBIS) is the exception thanks to lower debt, while Elon Musk said on X that lenders have almost entirely shut off access to money for companies relying on AI data centers, and SpaceX just borrowed $40 billion for AI chips. A BofA Global Research survey found convertible bond fund managers ranking an AI bubble as their top near-term worry, and they are crowding into the safest borrowers.
