Amazon (AMZN) has been one of the market's strongest large-cap technology stocks in 2026, helped by rapid growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS), advertising, and artificial intelligence. The company also delivered an impressive first quarter, beating Wall Street estimates.
But the story has recently shifted. Recently, Bloomberg reported that Senate investigators are examining allegations of Chinese influence over Amazon's third-party marketplace, sending AMZN shares down about 4% in a single session.
