Amazon Just Dropped a $100 Billion AI Bomb—Investors Are Panicking! Should You?
Amazon’s latest earnings beat expectations, but Wall Street is spooked. Here’s what’s REALLY happening behind the scenes—and why AI could change everything.

In partnership with
Amazon ($AMZN) recently released its Q4 2025 earnings on February 6, 2025, delivering impressive revenue growth and solid profitability. However, the stock dropped over 5% in after-hours trading as investors reacted to weaker-than-expected guidance and Amazon’s record-breaking $100 billion in capital expenditures for AI and cloud expansion.
So, should investors be concerned, or is this a buy-the-dip moment for long-term believers? Let’s break it down.
📊 Q4 2025 Financial Highlights: Strong Numbers, But Cautious Outlook
Amazon’s key financial metrics for the quarter:
Total Revenue: $187.8 billion (+10% YoY) 🔥
Net Income: $20 billion (+88% YoY) 📈
Earnings Per Share (EPS): $1.86 (vs. $1.72 expected)
AWS Revenue: $28.8 billion (+19% YoY)
Sounds great, right? Well, here’s the catch…
Amazon lowered its revenue guidance for Q1 2026 to $151 billion - $155.5 billion (vs. $158.6 billion expected). Combine that with its staggering AI-driven CapEx plans, and Wall Street got nervous—leading to the sell-off.
👉 But wait… did you even hear about this earnings release before February 6?
