🇺🇸Amazon spent $77.26 billion on property and equipment in Q3, maintaining its approximately $220 billion full-year capital-expenditure forecast.

Amazon’s reported third-quarter property-and-equipment purchases totaled $77.26 billion. The accompanying coverage connected the spending to continued data-center construction and expansion of computing capacity for enterprise customers and AI services.

The company maintained its forecast for approximately $220 billion in 2026 cash capital expenditure. This remains a full-year management forecast, whereas the Q3 property-and-equipment figure represents reported spending; the supplied sources do not allocate the entire amount specifically to AWS or AI infrastructure.

Financial_Express reported $42.4 billion of quarterly free-cash outflow alongside the elevated expenditure. Its coverage also stated that Amazon had raised its annual spending expectation in July amid memory-chip supply constraints, and that OpenAI and Anthropic both use Amazon servers for some model workloads.
