Sign InIn a move reflecting the ongoing focus on operational efficiency within Big Tech, Amazon on Wednesday cut jobs in its artificial general intelligence (AGI) group. These reductions are the latest in a series of smaller workforce adjustments across the company since January, following the major restructuring initiated at the start of the year.
While AI remains a critical growth area, these cuts represent targeted adjustments within specialized divisions to align with corporate efficiency goals. Per market data, AMZN shares closed at $247.55 (close July 21, 2026), having traded between a day high of $249.34 and a day low of $246.42.
Traders should watch the $246.42 support level established during recent trading sessions. Additionally, the market will look toward the U.S. Initial Jobless Claims data on July 16 for broader context on labor market trends affecting the technology sector.
