Amazon shares came into focus after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the launch of 4,500 satellites under the Leo project. The decision increases the company’s total approved low-earth orbit satellites to about 7,700 and brings it closer to launching a global satellite network designed to provide high-speed internet worldwide.

The project, previously known as Project Kuiper, aims to build low-latency infrastructure with deep integration into the AWS cloud platform. Amazon has already invested around $10 billion in the program, expecting long-term subscription revenue, expansion in the corporate segment, and stronger competitive positioning in the satellite communications market.

At the same time, the company continues to increase capital expenditures, including investments in AI and infrastructure, which previously triggered stock volatility. However, financial performance remains solid: fourth-quarter 2025 revenue rose 14% to $213.4 billion, while the AWS segment grew 24%, supporting positive analyst expectations.
