About Amazon
Amazon is the world's largest e-commerce retailer by sales and, through Amazon Web Services (AWS), the leading provider of cloud computing infrastructure — two businesses that operate on very different economics but together make Amazon one of the most structurally important companies in the modern economy. Founded in 1994 in Seattle, Washington, Amazon has spent three decades reinvesting aggressively into logistics, cloud infrastructure, advertising, and — increasingly — AI, a pattern that has repeatedly sacrificed near-term profit margin for long-term market position.
How Amazon Market Cap Is Calculated
Amazon's market capitalization is calculated by multiplying its total shares outstanding — the number of shares the company has actually issued to shareholders, as reported in its financial filings — by the current share price. It changes constantly as the share price moves, and also shifts whenever the company issues new shares, buys back existing ones, or splits its stock. Market cap is a market-value measure, not a statement of the company's assets or revenue: two companies with identical market caps can have very different underlying financials.
