Amazon.com Inc. (ISIN US0231351067) was trading at EUR 232.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 11:06 a.m. CEST, EUR 1.10 below the Xetra close of October 13, 2026. stock3 reported on October 14, 2026 that Amazon was negotiating a potential USD 7.00 billion acquisition of AI startup Decart, linking the discussions to Amazon's custom chips and robotics strategy.

Decart fits the chip strategy

Decart develops AI software designed to work across different chips, making the reported discussions relevant to Amazon Web Services and its Trainium program. The report characterizes the transaction as negotiations, so the strategic signal is clearer than the financial outcome: Amazon is looking for software that can widen demand for its own AI infrastructure.

The market context is demanding. A finance quote put Amazon's Nasdaq price at USD 258.58 on October 13, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, while the 52-week range was USD 196.00 to USD 287.20 and market capitalization was USD 2.8 trillion.

What does AI spending mean?

Amazon's latest reported quarter showed the scale of the opportunity. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue rose 20.00 percent year over year to USD 200.60 billion and operating income increased 43.00 percent to USD 27.50 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.

AWS revenue grew 36.70 percent year over year to USD 42.20 billion in the second quarter of 2026, while AWS operating income reached USD 16.60 billion. Amazon also said cash capital spending for 2026 could reach USD 220.00 billion, up from its earlier USD 200.00 billion plan, according to the same July 30, 2026 earnings call.

The operating-income comparison requires context: the quarter included about USD 1.20 billion of expense reductions from tariff-related refunds and an energy-contract valuation benefit. That makes AWS growth and the conversion of AI demand into recurring cash flow the central operating question.

Amazon's next report is October 29

MarketBeat reported on October 13, 2026 that Erste Group Bank raised its fiscal 2027 earnings-per-share forecast to USD 10.71 from USD 10.54, against a consensus estimate of USD 8.03. The same report said Cantor Fitzgerald cut its target from USD 320.00 to USD 310.00, keeping analyst valuation tied to both AWS execution and capital spending.

Amazon's third-quarter 2026 results are scheduled for October 29, 2026. The company guided third-quarter sales to USD 197.00 billion to USD 202.00 billion and operating income to USD 22.50 billion to USD 26.50 billion in the July 30, 2026 earnings call.
