"The AI chose Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) as the most likely candidate to reach $3 trillion in valuation next year. The retail leader is currently valued at $2.44 trillion, so a 22% rally will be necessary for it to hit that milestone. Elaborating on its choice, ChatGPT naturally noted that Amazon remains a global powerhouse in e‑commerce and logistics, adding that its cloud computing efforts via Amazon Web Services (AWS) will further complement its growth, given that AI is all the rage nowadays."
"Such a diversified business mix, the reasoning went, gives Jeff Bezos's company all that it needs to grow: retail demand, cloud growth, and ad services. Accordingly, if AWS continues to expand and benefit from the sector's overall bullish momentum, a push over $3 trillion seems within reach by 2026. The second pick, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), currently has a market capitalization of $1.59 trillion, meaning it needs to almost double in value to join the $3-trillion club."
Major banks are issuing bullish S&P 500 targets for 2026, with Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan forecasting a rise toward 7,500 (or 8,000 with additional Fed cuts). Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo project year-end 2026 levels near 7,800, citing policy support, strong earnings, and an AI-driven surge later in the year. ChatGPT-5 selected Amazon and Meta as the two most likely companies to reach $3 trillion market capitalizations by 2026. Amazon would need roughly a 22% rally and would benefit from e-commerce, logistics, AWS cloud growth, and ad services. Meta would need to nearly double its market value but could leverage its social platforms and expanding AI initiatives.
