The company is currently investing heavily in AI data center capacity. Updated
Intel tops the board on the fewest comments of the group, with 3,184 upvotes piled onto a bearish take. Big Tech names stay split ahead of earnings, Reddit's own stock is heating up, and Caterpillar chatter is souring.
Source: RedditFour of the market's largest cash machines now spend $201.9 billion a quarter on AI buildout, so the free cash flow that funded buybacks and dividends is the line to watch next earnings season.
AI is burning Big Tech's free cash flow: The combined CapEx of Amazon, $AMZN, Alphabet, $GOOGL, Meta, $META, and Microsoft, $MSFT, rose +$36.9 billion in Q3 2026, to a record $201.9 billion. This figure has more than doubled over the last 12 months and is up +356% since Q1 https://t.co/1bDyyin35Y
UBS is underwriting AWS growth above 40% into 2027-28, which is the bull case investors are being asked to pay for while AI capex squeezes free cash flow.
Wall Street updates its price targets on Amazon $AMZN following its Q3 earnings, with analysts highlighting strong long-term AWS growth despite rising AI spending and free cash flow pressure: UBS: $348 → $352 (Buy) – AWS growth outlook above 40% for 2027-28 supports confidence https://t.co/75RrD4q2Eh
AWS revenue grew 39% to $45.98 billion, its fastest in nearly five years, with Jassy projecting over 40% growth in both 2027 and 2028. Amazon is holding 2026 capital spending at roughly $220 billion to feed it, while EPS and revenue came in narrowly missing expectations.
A 3.70% slide to $245.19 takes roughly $100 billion off a $2.6 trillion market cap, and Q3 results land tonight after the bell. Rare size for a mega-cap this liquid, so keep an eye on the stock into the report.
Alphabet owns the conversation today with 1,495 comments, nearly triple the next name, as retail traders argue both sides of its cloud and AI search story. Microsoft chatter is heating up fast, while Amazon is the one losing the room.
Source: RedditA roughly $4.5 billion data center backlog, including Amazon deliveries slated for 2027 and 2028, makes Generac an AI power supplier. Earnings beat expectations with revenue missing expectations, and full-year sales growth guidance held in the mid-to-high teens.
A consumer assistant carrying a $1.7 billion compute bill next year is the clearest read yet on what inference actually costs Amazon, and the fix is routing work away from Anthropic toward its own models.
Amazon internally projected Alexa+ cloud computing costs to reach around $1.7 billion in 2026, nearly triple the previous year's figure. To reduce costs, $AMZN was working to rely less on Anthropic's AI models and route more requests to its own cheaper systems. The company also https://t.co/jFZLpcP4cR
You aren’t getting anything for “free.” You’ve been on an extended unpaid tryout, writing reviews of dozens of items. Now that you’ve “gotten the job,” you’re getting paid in socks and lightbulbs.
Walmart's invite-only reviewer program hands out furniture, appliances and e-bikes, but Amazon Vine veterans in the thread warn the haul gets reported to the IRS as income. Free merchandise paid for with unpaid hours and a tax bill is a trade worth pricing before you take it.
