The e-commerce and cloud-computing company's shares rose as much as 5.3% as of 9.35 am on Monday, adding to the raucous rally last week following second-quarter earnings that showed accelerating cloud-computing revenue. Amazon joins Nvidia, Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple as the only companies that have reached that size.
Amazon had been mired in a selloff for much of the last three months as investors soured on shares of companies that had committed to spending billion of dollars on artificial intelligence. Its stock sank nearly 18% between its May 6 record and the three-month low it hit last month.
Those fears were eased last week after the firm reported that revenue for its Amazon Web Services unit last quarter jumped by the most since 2021. Shares surged more than 15% in response, their biggest one-day jump in more than 14 years, to add nearly $400 billion in value.

That propel Amazon as the best-performing Magnificent Seven stock this year. The gauge of its big tech peers has struggled this year, gaining only 2.1% compared to a 10% gain for the S&P 500 Index.
Wall Street remains upbeat on Amazon's long-term prospects too. The average analyst price target calls for the stock to rise about 14% over the year from where it currently trades, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
