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 27, 2026, 7:41 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 just dropped $44.2 billion in a single quarter on capital expenditures. That’s not a typo. The figure represents a 77% increase from the $25 billion the company spent in the same period last year, and it signals that Amazon’s AI spending spree is accelerating, not slowing down.

The numbers behind Amazon’s AI bet

The quarterly figure is eye-catching on its own, but zoom out and the picture gets even more dramatic. Amazon’s trailing twelve-month capex now sits at $147.3 billion, a 67% jump from $88 billion over the prior twelve-month period.

Operating cash flow tells a healthier story, rising 30% to $148.5 billion on a trailing twelve-month basis. Free cash flow, the money left after all that spending, cratered to just $1.2 billion. When your operating cash flow is $148.5 billion and your free cash flow is $1.2 billion, nearly every dollar coming in the door is going right back out.

Why AWS matters more than ever

Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud computing arm, met revenue expectations for the quarter. AWS is the engine that’s supposed to justify all this spending, and so far, it’s delivering.

Analysts have pointed to AWS’s performance and optimistic forward guidance as the key reason the market isn’t punishing Amazon for burning through nearly all its free cash flow. That reasoning has contributed to a measurable reduction in bearish sentiment around Amazon’s stock.

What this means for investors and the broader market

The investment thesis here is straightforward but carries real risk. Amazon is betting that AI infrastructure will be the foundation of its next decade of growth, primarily through AWS. If enterprise demand for AI compute continues to surge, the $147.3 billion in trailing capex starts looking like a moat, not a money pit.

But the free cash flow compression is hard to ignore. At $1.2 billion on a trailing twelve-month basis, any slowdown in AWS revenue growth, any delay in AI monetization, or any macroeconomic headwind that forces enterprise clients to cut cloud budgets makes the math uncomfortable fast.
