Amazon shares drop 14% after Bezos sells $346M stock and FTC lawsuit hits in August 2026

Jeff Bezos sold $346 million of Amazon stock on August 3, 2026, coinciding with a peak in Amazon's share price. However, the stock declined about 14% since then, pressured by regulatory concerns, a lawsuit from the FTC and 22 states over advertising practices, and heavy spending on AI and cloud infrastructure. Amazon's large investments have led to negative free cash flow, raising investor worries despite the company's confidence in long-term growth. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic, projecting up to 35% upside over the next year.

Amazon shares are trading at USD 250.65 on Pluang, showing a 1.61% increase in the last day. As of Sep 30, 2026 21:31 WIB, the stock remains below its 52-week high of USD 284.02, with a market cap of $2.66 trillion and a strong buy interest at 79%.
