Sign InIn a move reflecting the intense race for leadership in the advanced technology sector, Amazon plans to issue $25 billion in new debt. According to reports, this substantial capital will be dedicated to financing the expansion of AI data centers and related infrastructure. The company is scaling up its capital expenditure to meet growing demand, having already secured clients for its upcoming data center facilities.
This strategic shift places Amazon in direct competition with tech giants like Microsoft, which increased its capital expenditure to $14 billion in the recent quarter to support cloud and AI infrastructure (per Microsoft earnings reports). In comparison, Amazon aims to leverage its robust cash flow to service this new debt, having reported free cash flow of $50.1 billion over the trailing twelve months (per financial search data).
Regarding market performance, AMZN shares closed at $245.34 (close July 10, 2026) after reaching a day high of $251.03. Investors are closely monitoring the impact of increased leverage on the company's balance sheet, especially as markets await key economic data such as the U.S. ISM Services PMI, which may provide signals regarding the strength of institutional spending in the tech sector.
