#Amazon3TrillionClub Amazon just crossed the $3 trillion market cap threshold for the first time, becoming the fifth company in history to hit that mark — joining Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet. Shares jumped roughly 5% on Monday to a fresh all-time high near $285-287, extending a two-session rally that started with a 15% pop the previous Friday. The catalyst was a blowout Q2 earnings report: AWS revenue hit $42.2 billion, blowing past the $40.5 billion expected, with operating margins at 39%. Total revenue came in at $200.6 billion versus $196.5 billion forecast, and adjusted EPS of $1.97 beat estimates of $1.82. CEO Andy Jassy told investors demand is so strong that even with rising capacity, "we will still not have enough capacity to meet all the demand we have in 2026" — and said early demand signals for 2028 are already "striking." What makes the milestone notable is the pace: Amazon took just over two years to go from $2 trillion to $3 trillion, compared to more than six years to go from $1 trillion to $2 trillion — a sign of how fast AI-driven cloud demand is compounding valuations. The move also came with a cost: Amazon raised its 2026 capex guidance to $220 billion, up from $200 billion, mostly to fund data centers and AI infrastructure. That's part of a broader divide this earnings season — Amazon and Microsoft have been rewarded by investors for their AI spending, while Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all saw shares fall after reporting similarly heavy AI investment, showing the market isn't paying for capex alone anymore — it wants proof the spending converts into revenue.
