Amazon shares closed near $262 on August 24 amid continued strength from Q2 results that showed 20% revenue growth to $200.6 billion and AWS sales surging 37% to $42.2 billion, its fastest pace in over four years, with AI-related run rates exceeding $25 billion. Traders are pricing the tightest probabilities around the $255–$270 bands because elevated 2026 capital spending of $220 billion—up $20 billion from prior guidance—reflects heavy AI infrastructure bets that markets view as justified by accelerating cloud demand and backlog growth, yet subject to execution risk and broader tech sentiment. Upcoming catalysts include any follow-through from expanded Anthropic commitments and data-center investments, while recent price action near multi-month highs underscores how sustained AWS momentum could support further gains versus potential macro or competitive pressures.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
Closing prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
For a standard full trading session, the closing price refers to the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of regular trading hours on the primary exchange. If the relevant session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of that shortened session will be used.
If the relevant day has no valid Pyth Close value for the 1-minute candle corresponding to the end of regular trading hours on the primary exchange, the market will use the last valid Pyth price achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange as the effective closing price. If no valid Pyth price exists for that trading day due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption, the official closing price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine the closing price for that day.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed security during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market will be Pyth, specifically the "Close" values for the relevant 1-minute candle for Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.AMZN%2FUSD.
