Microsoft Signals Commercial Quantum Breakthrough, Reframing the AI-Cloud Race

Microsoft says commercial quantum machines could be in data centers by the end of the decade, with 2029 tasks that classical computers cannot perform, emphasizing a hybrid role rather than replacement. The stance signals long‑term upside for MSFT’s cloud/AI platform, while IonQ, Amazon, and Alphabet may benefit from cloud access and tools; near‑term stock moves are unlikely as quantum-driven data-center demand could emerge in the early 2030s, with QBTS and RGTI used as comparables.

Amazon’s Capex Push Seen as Long-Term Opportunity by Top Investor

Despite Amazon’s $200 billion capex pledge for 2026 and a small earnings miss, top analyst Daniel Sparks says the market overreacted and presents a buying opportunity for long-term holders. He notes Amazon is monetizing capacity as it installs it, points to a fast-growing $10 billion chips business, and cites strong top- and bottom-line growth with guided 11–15% revenue growth for Q1 2026. With a Strong Buy consensus and a roughly 34% upside to a $281.68 12-month target, Sparks argues the capex cycle could pay off megacap investors over time.

BoA Keeps Buy on Amazon as AI-Driven AWS Push Looms Large

Bank of America reiterates a Buy on Amazon after a mixed Q4 and a much larger capex plan.

The street remains broadly bullish with a Strong Buy consensus and ~35% upside to a ~$283 target. Amazon guided Q1 revenue above expectations, but capex is seen rising to about $200B in 2026, with AWS growth at 24% and overall revenue at $213.4B for Q4.

Amazon's Decade-Long Growth Engine: Cloud, Ads, and AI Keep It Bullish

Amazon remains a long‑term buy as its dominant positions in e‑commerce, digital advertising, and AWS cloud fuel ongoing growth, with AI demand adding to AWS momentum. The stock trades at about 35x earnings—rich relative to the S&P 500—but a wide economic moat, sizable addressable markets, and continued reinvestment in new initiatives support higher revenue and profits over the next decade, including strong ad growth (22% in Q3 2025) and substantial cloud adoption still to come.
