Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 28, 2026, 3:46 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.

Amazon has spent the better part of two years watching OpenAI and Anthropic dominate the conversation around frontier AI models. Now the company is betting that a leadership shakeup, billions in investment commitments, and a unified AI organization can close that gap faster than most observers expect.

A new captain for the AI ship

Rohit Prasad, who previously led the company’s AI efforts, departed Amazon by the end of 2025. In his place, Peter DeSantis now heads a newly unified AI organization designed to eliminate the silos that had slowed Amazon’s progress.

DeSantis’s mandate encompasses both the software and hardware sides of the equation. That includes Amazon’s custom chip efforts, specifically Trainium for training AI models and Inferentia for running inference workloads.

The Anthropic bet keeps getting bigger

Amazon’s investment in Anthropic started at $1.25 billion. That initial check has since ballooned into a commitment that could reach as high as $25 billion, making it one of the largest corporate bets on a single AI company in history.

Anthropic’s valuation has reflected this dynamic. The company reportedly achieved a pre-money valuation of roughly $900 billion, a figure that in some assessments has surpassed OpenAI’s estimated valuation.

Flirting with the competition

Amazon has reportedly been in discussions with OpenAI about potentially substantial commercial partnerships. The estimated investment figures discussed exceed $10 billion, with the goal of integrating OpenAI’s models into AWS Bedrock, Amazon’s managed service for accessing various AI models.

CEO Andy Jassy has also been actively engaged in discussions with US officials regarding AI security matters involving Anthropic.
