Amazon has lifted its planned northwest Louisiana data center investment to $18 billion from $12 billion, adding a third campus in Shreveport and expanding a build-out tied to AWS demand from AI and cloud computing. The three campuses are expected to create up to 750 full-time Amazon data center jobs and support 2,500 additional positions, while Amazon said it will invest up to $400 million in public water infrastructure and fund the energy infrastructure and grid upgrades needed for the sites so local ratepayers do not bear those costs. Amazon also said it has invested more than $6 billion in Louisiana since 2010. The Shreveport site follows earlier legal disputes that were resolved by April 2026, with SWEPCO still central to power supply. Shares were up 0.15% at $261.69 on Tuesday, holding up better than a broader tech-led selloff, and the stock remained above key moving averages with a neutral RSI reading. The report cited an average analyst price forecast of $331.48 across 50 analysts.
