Amazon is a global technology powerhouse founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, originally as an online bookstore. Today, it is recognized as the world’s largest online retailer and a leader in cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS).

As of 2026, the company has officially surpassed Walmart as the world’s largest company by annual revenue, reporting over $717 billion for the 2025 fiscal year. Beyond e-commerce, Amazon has diversified into digital streaming (Prime Video), smart home technology (Alexa/Echo), and high-margin sectors like advertising and healthcare.

Currently, the company is executing a massive $200 billion capital expenditure cycle focused heavily on AI infrastructure and its “Amazon Leo” satellite constellation to maintain its competitive edge in the next era of tech.
