Amazon Hits Pause On Data Center Deals

🛑 Amazon (AMZN) paused some international data center lease talks, according to Wells Fargo (WFC), signaling tighter capital discipline despite CEO Andy Jassy’s earlier assurance that expansion plans were intact.

💸 The move mirrors Microsoft’s (MSFT) recent caution, as both cloud giants respond to economic uncertainty and rising costs from Trump’s proposed tariffs, even as they race to fuel AI growth with massive infrastructure investments.

📉 Amazon and Microsoft stocks regained some of their losses on Tuesday, though both stocks are down over 10% for the year. AWS said the pause is just “routine capacity management,” not a fundamental shift.

TODAY’S TOP NEWS

Fruitist’s Jumbo Bet Pays Off

🔵 Fruitist, formerly Agrovision, tripled jumbo blueberry sales in the past year, surpassing $400 million in annual revenue and attracting over $1 billion in funding — including backing from Ray Dalio’s family office. The vertically integrated berry brand is eyeing an IPO as early as this year.

🍓 The company tackled the infamous "berry roulette" by owning its entire supply chain — from farms in Mexico to cold storage in Oregon — and using machine learning to harvest at peak freshness. Their jumbo berries last up to three weeks and are now in 12,500+ retailers like Costco and Whole Foods.

🌎 Despite Trump-era tariffs, Fruitist expects minimal impact due to year-round domestic farming and global diversification. With cherries next on the menu and a fresh MLS sponsorship deal, the berry startup is scaling snackable fruit into a full-blown global business.
