Amazon Surges 7% Despite Ohio Town Bans on Data Centers
Yahoo Finance ·
Amazon shares jumped 7% and Microsoft rallied 6% after ten towns in Ohio banned large data centers. Alphabet announced a $15 billion investment in Malaysia including data centers, and NVIDIA rose pre-market, while smaller cloud provider CoreWeave dropped 7%. Analysts note that major tech giants possess sufficient financial strength to relocate construction, meaning local restrictions will fail to impede their artificial intelligence investments. Market projections indicate Amazon's normalized earnings per share will nearly double from $7.17 in 2025 to $13.99 by 2028. Experts suggest that only a statewide ban would pose a genuine threat to these expansion efforts, as a broader constitutional prohibition supported by 57% of Ohio adults in a recent poll would prove significantly more difficult to circumvent.
AI 시장 분석
Despite large-scale data center bans in 10 Ohio cities, Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) showed strength, surging 7% and 6%, respectively. Major big tech companies are expected to maintain their AI infrastructure investment pace as their massive capital enables easy site relocation. Conversely, smaller cloud companies lacking financial strength are taking a hit, demanding a selective approach from investors.
상승 영향
- AI — Large big tech companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet benefit by continuing AI infrastructure expansion, bypassing regional regulations with their massive capital strength (220 billion dollars in annual investments).
하락 영향
- Software — Smaller cloud companies like CoreWeave lack the financial power to bypass Ohio's data center ban regulations, and face direct hits such as a 7% drop in stock price due to increased interest expense burdens.
DYAX 전담 분석
The data center ban in parts of Ohio acted as a negative factor for smaller cloud company CoreWeave, deepening interest expense burdens and operational losses, causing its stock to fall by 7%. On the other hand, Amazon is analyzed to be able to bypass regulations and continue investments based on its 220 billion dollar capital expenditure capacity, doubling its EPS by 2028.
The bullish scenario is that strong NVIDIA earnings will continue due to sustained AI chip demand driven by big tech companies expanding data centers overseas and in other regions, while the bearish scenario is that the passage of a statewide ban in Ohio will delay overall infrastructure expansion. Key indicators to watch are NVIDIA's earnings announcement scheduled for November and public opinion polls regarding statewide regulations.
