Amazon (AMZN) Bets Higher Pay Can Support its Next Phase of Growth

Amazon (AMZN) is raising its minimum starting wage for U.S. core operations workers to $20/hour, a $1.5B investment. This follows rising fulfillment costs, which increased 13% YoY to $56.9B in H1 2026. The move aims to reduce turnover and support holiday demand, with average hourly pay approaching $24. Amazon's Q2 operating income rose 43% to $27.5B, but fulfillment expenses grew 14%. The wage hike adds to existing cost pressures, with future productivity gains uncertain.

Nvidia Built The AI Machine Micron Controls One Of Its Biggest Bottlenecks

Nvidia's supply commitments surged to $279B, driven by memory needs, impacting its gross margins (75% in Q2, expected to drop to 71%-72%). Micron, a key memory supplier, reported strong fiscal Q3 results ($41.46B revenue, $28.24B net income) and high margins (83%-87%). Micron's HBM4 memory is critical for Nvidia's AI chips, creating a supply bottleneck. Micron's CEO noted HBM's high wafer consumption limits conventional DRAM supply, affecting industries like smartphones.
