Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) has rarely lacked ambition, but its latest initiative is one of its most direct shots yet at redefining everyday convenience. Amazon Now, launched at the start of December, is designed to bring near-instant delivery to dense urban areas, tightening the gap between online ordering and physical retail. For investors, the question is whether Amazon Now could move the stock looking ahead to 2026.
