THE APEX TIMES
In comments circulated by Yahoo Finance, Jim Cramer said Amazon could build a semiconductor business that “may soon be” as large as $50 billion, tying the idea to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s earlier estimate for chips powering Amazon’s AI infrastructure.
A day after Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang stepped down, Jim Cramer told investors that Amazon has what he called the makings of a semiconductor business that “may soon be a $50 billion” opportunity. The remark, reported by Yahoo Finance, frames Amazon not just as a buyer of chips, but as a company trying to shape the hardware foundation behind its expanding artificial intelligence and cloud services.
Cramer’s thesis drew a line from Amazon’s internal efforts toward chips for AI workloads. In the Yahoo Finance writeup, it is also linked to a figure Andy Jassy, Amazon’s chief executive, said earlier this year in which Jassy pointed to chip-related revenue running above $20 billion.
The comparison implies an acceleration in scale. While the Yahoo Finance post recounts the $50 billion framing, it does not provide additional details on how quickly Amazon would reach that level, what portion would come from externally sold semiconductors versus internal use, or what specific chip platforms would drive growth beyond the referenced $20 billion figure.
The comments arrive as the semiconductor supply chain has become central to cloud and AI strategy. For hyperscalers, custom silicon can reduce dependency on third-party chip roadmaps, address performance needs for training and inference, and improve margins by shifting value up the stack.
Amazon’s broader technology approach centers on AWS, where demand for AI-related compute has been a key driver of infrastructure investment. In that context, an internal or partially internal semiconductor effort is often presented as a way to tailor performance and power efficiency to the company’s workloads, including large-scale model training and serving.
Still, the reporting around Cramer’s remarks does not clarify the governance of the “semiconductor business” concept. It is not spelled out whether the $50 billion figure refers to total semiconductor-related revenue, sales of externally marketed custom chips, or a broader accounting category tied to AWS compute demand.
A company-level caveat is that neither the Yahoo Finance post, as described, nor additional sourced material provided here details the underlying plan, timing targets, or capacity expansions that would be required to support a semiconductor segment of that magnitude.
What to watch next is whether Amazon leadership later quantifies its chip roadmap with more specificity, including productization milestones, customer or partner adoption beyond internal use, and any disclosures that separate semiconductor economics from overall AWS hardware and compute results.
A new report says Microsoft and other major technology companies are taking part in Anthropic’s initial public offering as the AI-focused startup sets a price range.
In comments carried by Yahoo Finance, ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed to exchange-traded funds as a “barometer” of investor stress, drawing parallels to earlier recoveries in gold-related products while suggesting Bitcoin could find support around $60,000.
The investor and podcast host said Anthropic’s Nov. 19 debut could open substantially higher than its IPO price, citing what he called “great news” for Alphabet and Amazon.
A Yahoo Finance analysis frames Jensen Huang’s resignation as a source of uncertainty, yet says most analysts view Nvidia shares as undervalued after the change.
The allegation, reported by Reuters and circulated via Yahoo Finance, centers on claims that NVIDIA’s CEO minimized the nature of his interactions with a lawyer tied to an affair and an “alleged Chinese spy” matter.
After a nearly 13% drop in one week, investors are debating whether expectations built around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are overly driving the stock.
After a reported corporate scandal at Nvidia wiped roughly $1.8 billion in market value and prompted an outside probe into the conduct of CEO Jensen Huang, investors and dealmakers are re-examining how quickly reputational issues can spread through corporate communications and advisory services.
A petition circulating online, titled “Stand with Jensen,” gathered roughly 36,000 signatures and was endorsed by prominent tech and market voices, according to a report carried by Yahoo Finance.
A new regulatory filing highlights a sharp contrast in one major quant investor’s current tech bets, with Nvidia among the names being pared.
A market strategist cited Nvidia’s sharp pullback and leadership transition as reasons to stay constructive, while also naming several large-cap peers he says could benefit as the S&P 500 approaches 8,000.
