Amazon.com Inc. (ISIN US0231351067) was reported in talks to acquire artificial intelligence startup Decart in a USD 7 billion deal on October 11, 2026, while its euro-listed indication fell to EUR 223.08 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 10:14 a.m. CEST, minus 3.07 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026. The Columbian reported that the discussions could rank among Amazon's largest recent acquisitions.
What would the deal add?
Decart develops software that lets artificial intelligence developers switch between different chips and is also working on models that generate three-dimensional environments. The reported USD 7 billion valuation would expand Amazon's push into AI infrastructure and custom silicon, but the report describes negotiations rather than a completed transaction.
The deal discussion follows a fresh analyst reset. According to Yahoo Finance on October 12, 2026, Wells Fargo lowered its Amazon target from USD 338.00 to USD 329.00 and kept an Overweight rating. The firm expects AWS growth to accelerate in the fourth quarter and expects Amazon to reiterate USD 220 billion of 2026 capital spending.
Three dated signals for Amazon
On June 30, 2026, Amazon reported second-quarter revenue of USD 200.61 billion and operating income of USD 27.46 billion, up 19.6 percent and 43.2 percent from the year-earlier quarter. AWS revenue reached USD 42.23 billion, an increase of 36.8 percent. Financial Report Insights identified AWS growth and Amazon's heavy AI investment as the central operating tension. On October 12, 2026, Wells Fargo cut its target from USD 338.00 to USD 329.00. On October 11, 2026, Amazon was reported in talks over the USD 7 billion Decart transaction.
When are the next results?
MarketBeat lists October 29, 2026 as the estimated date for Amazon's third-quarter results, with a conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET. The same earnings page gives consensus revenue of USD 202.10 billion and consensus earnings per share of USD 1.96 for the quarter, compared with USD 180.17 billion and USD 1.95 in the year-earlier period. A company calendar listing also shows February 4, 2027 for fiscal-year 2026 results.
Amazon stock stays under pressure
Amazon's market capitalization is USD 2.7 trillion, while its Nasdaq 52-week range is USD 196.00 to USD 287.20. The current euro indication is therefore below the October 14 Xetra close as investors weigh AI spending, acquisition talks and the coming results.
Amazon.com stock was trading at EUR 223.08 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 10:14 a.m. CEST, minus 3.07 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 230.15. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Amazon.com stock.
