1. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings: 332

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a key player in the AI industry due to several factors. These include the firm’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing business and its in-house Trainium AI chips. The highly competitive cloud computing industry, which sees investors demand high growth rates, has also affected Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in 2025. As an example, the shares dipped in August after the firm’s second-quarter earnings saw AWS post a 17.5% revenue growth, which was slower than Microsoft and Google’s cloud growth rates of 39% and 32%, respectively.

AWS has also been the focus of recent analyst coverage for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s shares. For instance, Guggenheim initiated coverage on December 10th as it set a Buy rating and a $300 share price target. The research firm cited AWS as the reason behind its coverage and shared that the business’s 3.8-year backlog had touched $200 billion in Q2. Cramer also discussed the AWS business. He insisted that the cloud business will drive the narrative, and commented on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) after BMO Capital raised the share price target to $304 from $300 and kept an Outperform rating, and raised the Q1 2026 AWS cloud growth estimate to 24% from an earlier 23%. Cramer’s optimism is met by hedge fund sentiment as well, with 332 of the 978 hedge funds part of Insider Monkey’s database having disclosed a stake to make Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) the one with the most hedge fund holders:

“Little noticed in the chaos that is the data center, mega, hyper, is a piece put out by BMO today that I thought was really good. BMO is talking about how Amazon Web Services, it’s going to grow to 24 from 23, that would be major. It talks about a lot of growth next year. That is the division that has crushed the stock. Now, again, I’m not pushing any of these stocks. I am saying that if you could get with 30 times earnings, next year’s earnings, with some certainty about AWS growing, then Jassy’s going to get his way out of this thing. It’s going to be terrific. I wish it was about Alexa and how great she is. I wish it was about how they’re going to do same day food, it’s not. It’s about AWS. The growth in AWS is going to surprise and Jassy is going to get there.”
