Amazon Inks $3B Nuclear Power Deal and $1B+ Synopsys Chip Pact
AMZN sits 28% above its 52-week low of $196.
Summary
Amazon signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation for about 190 MW of zero-carbon nuclear power from Calvert Cliffs, bringing its total nuclear commitment to 690 MW and over $3 billion. Separately, it inked a multi-year, $1B+ deal with Synopsys to supply tools and services for Amazon's custom chip design, supporting its in-house silicon development. These moves deepen Amazon's energy and semiconductor supply chains, reducing reliance on external providers. The nuclear PPA secures long-term clean power for AWS data centers, while the Synopsys deal accelerates custom chip development for cloud and AI workloads. Bezos' comments on pay and taxes are secondary and unlikely to move the stock.
