Amazon Targets Record $200B Capex for 2026 to Fuel AWS and AI Growth

Amazon has announced a projected $200 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026, aiming to capitalize on "seminal opportunities" in artificial intelligence, custom silicon, and its Amazon Leo satellite network. CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that the massive investment—primarily directed toward AWS data centers and infrastructure—is a strategic response to "very high demand" and is expected to yield strong long-term returns. This forward-looking announcement accompanied Q4 earnings results where AWS revenue re-accelerated to 24% growth, reaching $35.6 billion.
