AWS Holds Up: Can OpenAI’s $50B Rumor Re-Rate AMZN?
As Amazon prepares to report Q4 2025 earnings, the spotlight isn’t just on AWS—which continues to show solid AI-driven growth—but also on the strategic implications of a $50B investment in OpenAI (hypothetical).

Can AWS’s growth absorb such a strategic bet without further stressing free cash flow?
Will AWS strength outweigh AI capex concern or reward bold AI positioning?
