4kodiak/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Investors who think they’ve got Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ) finally figured out, are in for a surprise. The company is releasing something so exciting, I think it could become its own vertical. It happened with AWS in 2006, then with advertising, and it’s happening again right now, from a business that barely came up in conversations 18 months ago. It’s a semiconductor business that scaled to a size that rivals even established peers in the sector, and more importantly, CEO Andy Jassy is now openly talking about turning it into something much bigger. Personally, I think this deserves some close attention as it stands to be one of the biggest potential growth opportunities for Amazon- at least in the foreseeable future. For that, and all the other reasons stated below, my Strong Buy rating for Amazon remains in place. Where does Amazon stock stand today? Seeking Alpha At the time of publication, Amazon stock trades at roughly $249 per share. The stock is also up about 8% YTD, and over the past 12 months, it's up nearly 37%, which still comfortably outpaced the broader S&P 500 ( SP500 ) over the same stretch. That said, as you might already know, Amazon’s trajectory didn’t come in a straight line. I mean, the tech market got hit hard during late 2025 and into early 2026 during a broad selloff that rattled the entire sector on the backs of seemingly outrageous AI capex. In fact, Amazon, Microsoft ( MSFT ), Alphabet, and Meta ( META ) collectively guided a CapEx close to $700 billion in 2026 alone. No surprise, the number exceeded what most analysts had expected, which eventually resulted in a widespread sell-off largely driven by fear, not failing business fundamentals. And then, of course, geopolitical issues made things worse. The war Iran has escalated rather quickly into a regional conflict, and with the Strait of Hormuz all but closed for the first time in history- none of this helps the situation. Inevitably, the stock mar...

Stock index futures edged higher ahead of Wednesday’s open, as investors reacted to reports that potential talks with Iran could commence within the next couple of days—boosting confidence in diplomatic progress and supporting a more optimistic market tone. Here are the four stocks to watch on the day: Morgan Stanley ( MS ) shares climbed 2.9% in the premarket session after the firm delivered stronger-than-expected first-quarter results, supported by robust trading activity and continued momentum in its wealth management division. The bank reported Q1 GAAP EPS of $3.43, well above the consensus estimate of $3.02, and up from $2.68 in Q4 2025 and $2.60 in Q1 2025. Broadcom ( AVGO ) shares are on the move higher by 2.1% as the company signed a three-year strategic partnership with Meta Platforms ( META ) aimed at advancing the development of custom artificial intelligence chips and accelerating their deployment across data center infrastructure, the companies announced on Wednesday. Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) shares popped 8% after the company expanded its platform to include Kalshi’s prediction markets for users in March 2025. Trading activity in the prediction market space has accelerated sharply in 2026, with volumes on pace to more than quadruple this year and potentially approach $1 trillion within the next four years, according to CNBC. Newmont Corporation ( NEM ) shares fell 1.2% in Wednesday’s premarket session after the company announced it had suspended underground operations at its Cadia gold and copper mine in New South Wales, Australia, following overnight seismic activity in the region.

Welcome back to Bloomberg’s Real Estate Monitor , a weekly breakdown of emerging trends, strategic challenges and blockbuster deals shaping the industry. Sign up now if you’re not already on the list. This week, you’ll find out where wealthy house-hunters are heading to avoid the war in the Middle East and why a 25-year-old Miami hotel was blown up . We’ll also tell you about a shift that threatens to upend Chicago’s standing as a bastion of affordability and an “accidental” urban nature park that’s become a model for others. Let’s get into it. — Christine Maurus Market Snapshot DR Horton Inc $145.25 +0.6% Lennar Corp $88.83 -1.1% Foxtons Group PLC $42.75 -1.0% Zillow Group Inc $41.00 +0.9% Market data as of 08:52 AM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. The big story Wealthy Middle Easterners looking to escape the war-battered region are house-hunting in Europe. Real estate agents in hot spots like London, Monaco, Switzerland and Marbella on Spain’s Costa del Sol are seeing a surge in interest from both renters and buyers, Bloomberg reporters Noele Illien, Hugo Miller and Clara Hernanz Lizarraga wrote. Clients run the gamut from multimillionaire traders to social media influencers to families, all seeking a temporary refuge until the conflict ends , or even possibly to relocate permanently. The expats are sometimes people who’d flocked to Middle Eastern cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, lured by a combination of tax advantages, year-round sunshine and the promise of a lavish lifestyle. So many of the places they’re looking now have some of those attributes as well. In Milan, for instance, overseas earnings are exempt from Italian levies. Marbella has had a connection with the Middle East dating back to the 1970s, when then-Saudi Crown Prince Fahd made it a summer base and built the Mar-Mar Palace. Smadar Kahana, a managing director at Engel & Völkers, said the agency is fielding multiple inquiries a day and has made several deals in Marbella since the war start...

Yet Another Historic Church Torched In Canada Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Another historic church lies in ashes after a major fire tore through Saint-Romain, Quebec, last night. The building, whose construction began in 1893, is the latest casualty in a relentless campaign against Canada’s Christian institutions that has seen arsons more than double since 2021. A historic church, originally built in 1893 and standing for over a century, was destroyed by flames Monday evening in Saint-Romain, between Beauce and Estrie in the province of Quebec. pic.twitter.com/uyq0K1cjx2 — Alexandra Lavoie (@ThevoiceAlexa) April 14, 2026 The post, which included video of the blaze, has ignited widespread outrage across X, with people quick to assume who the likely culprits are. Another church set on fire last night, this time in Saint-Romain, Quebec. Invaders are attacking our women, children and every fabric of our societies. All while politicians give them preferential treatment and put laws in place to protect them from even simple criticism. pic.twitter.com/zaFxKZNz2p — Tommy Robinson ??

Western nations are watching the same erosion. In the UK, churches face more than 10 crimes every single day.
