Amazon joins the big nuclear party, buying 1.92 GW for AWS
Amazon tapped into an emerging trend this week, one that's seeing big tech firms buy power from existing nuclear power plants. The tech company will power a chunk of its AWS cloud and AI servers using 1.92 gigawatts of electricity from Talen Energy's Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. Amazon is the latest hyperscaler to go direct to big nuclear operators, following on the heels of Microsoft and Meta. Amazon's deal was announced Wednesday, but it's not entirely new, instead modifying an existing arrangement with Talen. The old version had Amazon building a data center next to the Susquehanna power plant, siphoning electricity directly from the facility without first sending it to the grid. That deal was killed by regulators over concerns that customers would unfairly shoulder the burden of running the grid. Today, Susquehanna provides power to the grid, meaning every kilowatt-hour includes transmission fees that support the grid's maintenance and development. Amazon's behind-the-meter arrangement would have sidestepped those fees. This week's revisions shift Amazon's power purchase agreement in front of the meter, meaning the AWS data center will be billed like other similar customers who are grid-connected. The transmission lines will be reconfigured in spring of 2026, Talen said, and the deal covers energy purchased through 2042. But wait, there's more: The two companies also said they will look to build small modular reactors 'within Talen's Pennsylvania footprint' and expand generation at existing nuclear power plants. Expanding existing power plants is typically an easier way to add new nuclear. They might include switching to more highly enriched fuel to produces more heat, tweaking the settings to squeeze out more power, or renovating the turbines for a bigger bump. Microsoft kicked off the trend last year when it announced that it would work with Constellation Energy to restart a reactor at Three Mile Island, a $1.6 billion project that will generate 835 megawatts. Meta hopped aboard earlier this month, also with Constellation, to buy the 'clean energy attributes' of a 1.1 gigawatt nuclear power plant in Illinois. Amazon and Talen's pledge to build new small modular reactors is a longer shot, though there, too, Amazon is in good company with its peers. Several startups pursuing the concept with the hopes of cutting construction costs by mass producing parts. Amazon has invested in an SMR startup, X-energy, which is planning to add 300 megawatts of nuclear generating capacity in the Pacific Northwest and Virginia. New generation at existing reactors and new SMRs are intended 'to add net-new energy to the PJM grid,' Talen said, referring to the region's grid operator. That last bit is likely a bid to head off any criticism from regulators about leaving ratepayers holding the bag.

Billionaire Bill Ackman Just Scooped Up Shares of This Unstoppable Stock
Bill Ackman and his fund, Pershing Square, recently bought shares of Amazon. Amazon's stock has risen a lot over the past two months. AWS is a key part of the Amazon investing thesis. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Billionaire Bill Ackman and his Pershing Square fund have made some moves recently. Although it hasn't been disclosed in a Form 13-F, the fund stated that it scooped up shares of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) at an "extremely attractive" price. Although it didn't give details on what the entry point was, I think it's safe to assume that management essentially bought the bottom of the stock market sell-off in April. Although Amazon's stock has risen significantly since then, is there still enough value in the stock to warrant purchasing shares now? Let's take a look. Amazon's stock bottomed with the rest of the market at around $167 in mid-April. If we assume that Pershing Square scooped up shares at around that price tag, they're already up around 30% on the investment -- not bad for just two months of holding a stock. However, Ackman and his company aren't known for flipping stocks. He's a long-term investor who pinpoints undervalued companies and buys them at attractive prices. As a result, I think it's fairly clear that this 30% gain is nice for Pershing Square, but it expects even more performance from Amazon over the long term. But is that realistic, considering how threatened Amazon is by tariffs? One of Ackman's comments on his Amazon purchase was that he believes earnings will continue to grow because he thinks tariffs will have less effect on consumers than expected. Whether you think that's a valid statement or not, something undeniably factors into this comment: Amazon doesn't get a ton of profits from its commerce division. Even though Amazon's online store is what most customers interface with almost daily, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is far more vital to the company's profitability than the various items that are made in China and sold on its platform, which may rise in price over the next few months. Cloud computing firms are seeing strong growth thanks to a general migration of on-site workloads to the cloud and AI workloads coming online. In the first quarter, AWS' revenue growth was 17% year over year, far outpacing its North American commerce sales growth of 8% and international commerce sales growth of 5%. It's also far more profitable, with AWS' Q1 operating margin at 39%. Overall, AWS made up 63% of Amazon's total operating profits in Q1, despite only making up 19% of sales. Although commerce may have funded the buildout of the AWS business, it's now a cloud computing business with a commerce storefront. With AWS expecting to deliver strong growth over at least the next decade, and with how much it contributes to Amazon's profits, investors should focus on AWS, not commerce. With AWS' profits growing faster than the overall company, it will be able to resist some of the headwinds that tariffs have induced on the commerce side of its business. That's likely why Ackman believes tariffs won't affect Amazon as much as investors thought in April. With Amazon only about 10% off its all-time high after its rally, the market is starting to come around to that idea as well. While you can't hop in a time machine and buy shares at the same level as Ackman, I still think there's a compelling argument to buy Amazon's stock here. AWS is a monster that's displaying strong growth and is extremely profitable. Outperformance by this segment will continue to drive margin expansion and deliver strong earnings per share (EPS) growth quarter after quarter that is faster than the market's growth pace (usually around 10%). That makes Amazon a long-term investment story, and it's one that I'd gladly scoop up more shares of today.
