Amazon Stock Set for Upside on AWS AI Push, Targets $324

24/7 Wall St. says Amazon (AMZN) could reach about $324 by year’s end, implying roughly 31–32% upside from the current price as AWS AI monetization accelerates. The bull case hinges on AWS growth reaccelerating (AWS backlog at $364B; Trainium commitments over $225B; Anthropic deal) with a strong Q1 showing, while acknowledging free cash flow collapsing ~95% due to heavy capex (2026 capex near $200B) and rising debt. Long‑term upside is contingent on AI infrastructure execution, with projections extending beyond 2026 if ROI meets expectations and AI monetization scales, but risks include capex volatility and debt load.

Knockoff: Local, Open-Source Extension Filters Fake Amazon Brands

A new browser extension called Knockoff helps Amazon shoppers avoid fake, mass-produced brands by flagging or hiding suspect listings. It runs locally in Firefox, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers, requires no account, and is open-source with code on GitHub. Users can adjust badges and report misclassifications to improve accuracy over time. While effective in filtering out many knockoffs, it may also mislabel legitimate brands and does not assess product quality, so buyers should still scrutinize listings themselves.

Knockoff: Free on-device filter to hide knockoff brands on Amazon

Amazon’s shopping feed is cluttered by sponsored ads and low-quality, white-label brands. Knockoff, a free open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox, filters listings on-device by cross-referencing a ~5,000-brand database and applying linguistic heuristics, allowing you to dim, label, or hide pseudo-brand items and even scrub ad carousels, with three filtering levels and no user accounts or trackers.

Walmart Wins the Week in a Grocery Price-Comparison Showdown

A shopper compared Walmart’s summer price drops with Kroger and Amazon on items like ground beef, corn, cherries, ice cream, chips, plates and sodas. Walmart usually offered the lowest prices (beef around $5.94/lb; corn 0.25 per ear; 48-oz ice cream $2.50), while Kroger often matched or beat on some items with loyalty-card deals, and Amazon prices fluctuated. The test showed Walmart’s basket totaled $52.32, Kroger’s $58.52, with Amazon not consistently cheaper; overall, Walmart provided the best value for that week, though deals vary by item and retailer.

The tool underscores how common shady brands are in Amazon searches and ties into broader criticisms of the platform’s marketplace and ad-driven visibility.

Amazon’s Leo Satellite Network Edges Toward Global Internet Service

Amazon says its Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) constellation has surpassed 390 satellites after 29 new spacecraft, moving toward commercial service later this year. The project aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet with up to about 7,700 LEO satellites, a major challenge to SpaceX’s Starlink. Launches involve ULA, Arianespace, Blue Origin, and SpaceX, with a shift from Atlas V to Vulcan to enable larger satellite batches. Despite supply chain delays and a Blue Origin test-vehicle explosion, Amazon has built ready-to-fly spacecraft and an integration center to speed deployments, and initial service will roll out in limited geographies while AWS integration could open enterprise use. Expansion is planned to span dozens of countries as the network scales.
