Are you invested in Amazon (AMZN +1.00%), like me? Do you wonder how much your investment is going to grow over time, like me? No one can really know for sure how any investment will grow, but we can entertain ourselves with some educated guesses. Here's mine: I predict that $5,000 invested in Amazon today will be worth $20,230 in 10 years.

My prediction could turn out wrong, of course, but it's based on some reasonable assumptions. Let me explain.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Let's start with how Amazon stock has performed in recent years:

Time Period

Amazon Average Annual Return

Past 5 years

7.12%

Past 10 years

20.24%

Past 15 years

22.33%

Source: Data from Morningstar.com as of Sept. 16, 2026.

Interesting, right? The stock has been a powerful performer over the past 10 and 15 years, but it has lagged over the past five years. For example, over the past five years, the S&P 500 index has averaged annual gains of roughly 12%.

Before we get to our estimate, note that the stock seems somewhat undervalued these days, with a recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23, well below its five-year average of 39. That can serve as a tailwind for the stock if the company's business grows over time and its P/E returns to a more typical level.

So what average annual growth rate should we use as we estimate Amazon's growth over the coming decade? It could well be phenomenal, but I like to be at least a bit conservative, so let's go with 15%. If you buy $5,000 worth of stock today and it grows by 15% annually, it will end up worth around $20,230.

I think that's a reasonable guess, as the company appears to be doing well, recently posting its best quarter in years, and its Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform is growing briskly. It also has billions invested in artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Anthropic, which is going public soon, probably at a rich valuation.

Amazon.com News Roundup Here are the key news stories impacting Amazon.com this week:

Positive Sentiment: Amazon agreed to purchase up to $8 billion of backup generators from Generac, including approximately $2.4 billion of deliveries in 2027–2028. The deal should help Amazon bring AWS data centers online despite grid-connection delays and power shortages, while Amazon receives warrants to purchase Generac shares. Generac Plugs into Amazon for an $8B AI-Powered Deal Positive Sentiment: Analysts and investors continue to point to accelerating AWS demand, with reports citing a $169 billion annualized revenue run rate and a large cloud backlog. That supports expectations that AI-related infrastructure spending can translate into future sales, despite near-term cash-flow pressure. Amazon’s Andy Jassy Just Made a Startling Prediction Positive Sentiment: Project Mercury aims to expand Amazon’s same-day delivery network to more than 1,000 hubs by 2031. Bank of America called the initiative strategically important as Amazon attempts to narrow Walmart’s proximity and convenience advantage. Amazon’s secret weapon against Walmart could be a massive blitz in same-day delivery Positive Sentiment: AWS made its AI-powered hiring product, Amazon Connect Talent, generally available, expanding Amazon’s enterprise AI offerings beyond cloud infrastructure. Amazon has also received favorable attention from UBS analysts among top technology stock picks. Neutral Sentiment: Amazon is promoting industry and government cooperation on AI safety standards, emphasizing testing before release without calling for a broader slowdown in development. The stance may improve trust but is unlikely to materially change near-term results. Amazon Urges Industry and Government Partnership on AI Safeguards Negative Sentiment: Amazon faces European Commission scrutiny over marketplace rules that may restrict sellers from offering lower prices elsewhere, creating potential regulatory and compliance costs. Negative Sentiment: Investors remain concerned that roughly $220 billion of planned 2026 capital expenditures could keep free cash flow negative. Higher wages, delivery costs and possible electricity-grid charges for data centers add to the spending burden. Negative Sentiment: U.S. senators have urged the FTC to investigate Amazon’s AI shopping tools over alleged suppression of U.S.-made products and misleading “Made in USA” labels. The company also continues to face reputational and legal attention related to its Prime settlement. Amazon.com Company Profile (Free Report)

Italian cable maker Prysmian (PRY.MI) said on Friday it had partnered ​with Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) to supply ‌electrical cables made with low-carbon aluminium for an Amazon (AMZN.O) data centre in ​Ohio.

The cables will use aluminium ​produced with ELYSIS "inert-anode" technology, which ⁠Prysmian said eliminates direct greenhouse ​gas emissions from the smelting process, ​releasing pure oxygen instead.

Project is the first known use of inert-anode-smelted aluminum in ​a data center, the company ​said.

"The use demonstrates that the carbon footprint of ‌data ⁠centers can be reduced at the raw material level," it added.

Prysmian will manufacture the cables at ​its Sedalia, ​Missouri ⁠facility.

The project builds on the collaboration announced by ​Prysmian and Rio Tinto in ​March ⁠2026.

Joern Tinnemeyer, Vice President of Data Center Engineering at Amazon Web ⁠Services (AWS), ​linked the initiative ​to the company's 2040 net zero target.

A regulatory cap limiting Zoox to 100 robotaxis in Nevada is set to expire this month, clearing the way for the Amazon-owned company to expand its commercial fleet of custom-built robotaxis in Las Vegas just as competition heats up.

The Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA) permit that imposed the 100-vehicle cap is set to expire September 25, TechCrunch has learned. An NTA official and a Zoox spokesperson confirmed the change, which is also outlined in an updated permit.

This doesn’t mean Las Vegas is about to be inundated with hundreds of Zoox robotaxis. But it does give Zoox more freedom to grow — and at a critical moment. Waymo recently launched a commercial service in Las Vegas, while Tesla and Uber have secured their own driverless ride-hailing permits.

Today, Zoox has about 100 custom-built robotaxis — cube-like vehicles that lack steering wheels and pedals — spread across four U.S. cities, including Austin and Miami. The bulk of the fleet is in Las Vegas and San Francisco. And for now, Las Vegas remains the only city where Zoox is charging for rides. Zoox must still obtain another permit from California regulators before it can charge for passengers there.

Zoox began charging for robotaxi rides in Las Vegas last month after receiving a temporary exemption from certain federal motor vehicle safety standards from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

That exemption was crucial for Zoox because unlike Waymo, its robotaxis were designed without a steering wheel, pedals, or other traditional and federally mandated controls. The commercial exemption allows Zoox to deploy up to 2,500 vehicles per year for the next two years.

It’s unclear how quickly Zoox will take advantage of its newfound freedom in Nevada. A Zoox spokesperson declined to say how many robotaxis the company plans to add to its Las Vegas fleet or even how many are in operation there today. Robotaxi Tracker, which collects data on autonomous vehicles, estimates Zoox has more than 30 vehicles operating in the city.

The spokesperson told TechCrunch that Zoox plans to steadily increase the size of its robotaxi fleet over the next several months “to meet the high demand in Las Vegas and other markets.” 

Zoox will have lots of company, no matter how fast it expands. In August, the NTA approved three permits that will allow Tesla, Uber, and Waymo to operate commercial robotaxi services in Clark County, home to Las Vegas. Together, the permits could bring up to 7,000 robotaxis to the area over the next 12 months.

Waymo has wasted little time acting on that permit. The company opened its robotaxi service to customers in Las Vegas earlier this month. Waymo told TechCrunch at the time that it would start with “dozens” of its new Ojai minivan robotaxis in a 23-square-mile area that includes the Strip south of Highway 589 and into Boulder Junction.
