Jeff Bezos just filed to sell $4 billion in Amazon. The shares are falling

The filing under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan follows Amazon’s record-high stock price after stronger-than-expected quarterly results.

  • On Tuesday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos filed to sell approximately 15 million shares worth roughly $4.1 billion, causing AMZN stock to fall more than 2% in early trading.
  • Amazon shares reached an all-time high on Monday, pushing the company's market value above $3 trillion after last week's second-quarter earnings report beat Wall Street expectations.
  • Earnings of $1.97 per share surpassed the $1.82 expectation, driven by Amazon Web Services growth that generated $42.2 billion in revenue during the quarter.
  • The planned sale occurred Monday through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on Nov. 14, 2025, while Bezos remains among the company's largest shareholders.
  • CEO Andy Jassy announced Amazon is raising its capital expenditure forecast to $220 billion for the year, reflecting rising memory prices tied to the company's AI infrastructure buildout.
