SpaceX Passes Amazon in Market Value as AI Infrastructure Bets Surge

SpaceX Passes Amazon in Market Value as AI Infrastructure Bets Surge

SpaceX’s valuation has moved faster than its enterprise roadmap. The company briefly passed Amazon in market value on June 16, 2026, after a post-IPO rally pushed investors toward a sweeping bet on launch services, Starlink, defense work, and AI infrastructure. For enterprise technology buyers, the immediate case still rests on products they can evaluate today: connectivity, launch capacity, contracts, service terms, and vendor concentration risk. Why investors are pricing SpaceX like an AI infrastructure company SpaceX’s record IPO bundled several businesses into one market story: launch services, satellite broadband, defense work, and AI infrastructure. The company priced its IPO at $135 per share, raising $75 billion before beginning Nasdaq trading under the ticker SPCX on June 12. By June 16, SpaceX had briefly surpassed Amazon in market capitalization. Amazon generated $78 billion in net income on $717 billion in revenue in 2025. SpaceX, by comparison, reported a roughly $4.9 billion net loss on $18.7 billion in revenue. SpaceX is being valued less like an aerospace company than an AI infrastructure platform. Investors are pricing it …

‘I keep telling Amazon to make spinoff on Siddhi like Marvelous Mrs Maisel’: Maanvi Gagroo | Web-series News

4 min readMumbaiJun 10, 2026 08:21 AM IST After a run of over six years, Amazon Prime Video’s popular International Emmy Award-nominated show Four More Shots Please! finally wrapped up with the fourth season. Maanvi Gagroo, who played the budding stand-up comedian Siddhi Patel in the series, feels she’s not exactly done with the beloved character, and has even pitched to the streaming platform an idea for a spin-off. Siddhi spin-off in the making? “I keep joking with the Amazon people that we should have a spin-off of Siddhi, and do a Marvellous Mrs. Maisel kind of a thing. I don’t think they like that idea too much because nothing’s happened on that front,” Maanvi says, laughing, in an exclusive interview with SCREEN. The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, starring Rachel Brosnahan in the titular role of a rising stand-up comic in New York City of 1958, also ran for six years from 2017 till 2023, and five seasons.

Amazon Fashion’s ‘Wardrobe Refresh Sale’ reflects how AI-led discovery is reshaping fashion shopping in India | Business News

Amazon Fashion’s ‘Wardrobe Refresh Sale’ reflects how AI-led discovery is reshaping fashion shopping in India | Business News

Online fashion shopping is undergoing a noticeable shift.For years, people approached shopping with a clear objective: search for a product, compare prices, make a purchase. But increasingly, fashion discovery today looks very different. Consumers are browsing less with intent and more with inspiration in mind which is influenced by social media trends, creator-led styling, travel aesthetics, celebrity looks and personalised recommendations that shape what eventually lands in their cart. In many ways, shopping has become as much about discovery as it is about convenience. This evolution is especially visible among younger consumers, who are no longer simply searching for products category-by-category. Instead, they are shopping for complete looks, seasonal aesthetics and lifestyle-led wardrobes – whether that means minimalist workwear, vacation-ready co-ords, elevated basics, or functional travel fashion. It is this larger shift in consumer behaviour that Amazon Fashion’s 18th edition of the ‘Wardrobe Refresh Sale’ taps into. Running until June 2, the shopping event brings together trend-led styles, everyday essentials and premium fashion picks with 50-80% off on top brands including Wrogn, Libas, Gerber, Crocs, …
