Amazon's $200 billion capex plan: No death knell

Specifically, analysts pulled some numbers out of their... hat, and decided that Amazon would end up spending $150 billion on CapEx for 2026. Amazon then proclaimed that it was going to be a lot closer to $200 billion ("no worries, you only missed by the GDP of Croatia"), and the industry spent the next two business weeks just beating the absolute stuffing out of their stock for it. How badly? Shares fell 11% after hours, then kept falling for nine straight sessions - the longest losing streak since 2006 - erasing more than $450 billion in market value. That's more than the entire market cap of most companies that analysts are supposedly experts at evaluating.

Frustrated, you close the tab. But what if that same shirt was priced at $50 with free shipping? The likelihood that you would have bought it without a second thought is much higher.

From Click To Doorstep: Why Delivery Experience Is The Last Brand Impression

That's a problem. Without a doubt, a great website and top-level marketing will help generate new sales, but it's the delivery experience that warrants future ones. This is because today's consumer not only has options for where they'll buy but also a high set of expectations. What's more, they remember the way a product arrives at their doorstep more than how it was sold.

Amazon Prime Members Avoid 64 Store Trips Per Year

Remember grocery store runs? Amazon says those are going extinct. The company revealed that Prime members saved an average of 64 trips to physical stores last year by ordering basics online instead. That's a major shift. Groceries and household essentials now account for half of all fast deliveries to U.S. Prime members, compared to earlier years when fast delivery skewed toward purchases like electronics and clothing. Amazon has spent the past year integrating perishable groceries and prescription medications into its same-day delivery network.
