Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is being treated as a primary beneficiary of the AI infrastructure super-cycle in 2026. While the stock has faced some short-term price pressure due to capital expenditure forecasts, the smart money is buying into the rapidly accelerating cloud and chip divisions of the firm. In the Q1 2026 earnings report, the company revealed that AWS revenue grew 28% year-over-year to $37.6 billion, its fastest growth in 15 quarters. CEO Andy Jassy revealed that AWS’s AI revenue run-rate has exceeded $15 billion, representing roughly 10% of total AWS revenue. Hedge funds view this as a clear signal that Amazon is successfully monetizing GenAI at scale.
