Can you buy AWS stock?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:52 pm

AWS is an Amazon Web Services company that provides cloud computing services. It offers compute, storage, networking, software, and other related services to businesses of all sizes.

AWS is the world’s largest and most diverse cloud infrastructure provider.

PRO TIP: AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon, and as such is not publicly traded. You cannot buy AWS stock.

In November 2017, Amazon announced it would offer its employees the opportunity to purchase up to $5,000 worth of Amazon stock each year, subject to certain conditions. As of May 2018, this offer is still available.

There are a few things to keep in mind when considering whether or not to buy AWS stock. First, there is the potential for the company’s stock price to rise and fall, so it’s important to do your own research before making a decision. Second, buying stock in AWS carries with it some risk. If the company experiences a decline in its stock price, you may lose money.

Third, you may need to pay taxes on any gains you make when you sell your AWS stock. Finally, buying stock in AWS is not a guaranteed way to make money. You may not be able to sell your shares for a profit for some time, and you may also have to pay fees to the company in order to buy them.
