Amazon cloud capacity sold out through 2027, Jassy says, as AI trade wobbles
· Tech · United States
Amazon's cloud computing capacity is sold out through 2027, CEO Andy Jassy said, a sign of still-robust demand even as investors sour on the AI trade. TikTok's US operator is hunting for multiple gigawatts of computing capacity over the coming years, according to sources. But the AI build-out showed strain: neoclouds faced pressure, credit risks mounted, SK hynix scrapped its Solidigm US IPO review, and Meta shares posted their worst week in four years. Treasuries drew haven demand as the AI trade stumbled again. Hyperscaler earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting and a key inflation report are all due next week.
Why it matters:Cloud demand and AI financing stress are moving in opposite directions, making next week's earnings and rate decision pivotal for the sector's valuations.
Key points
- Jassy said Amazon's cloud capacity is sold out through 2027
- TikTok's US operator is seeking multiple gigawatts of capacity
