Amazon has set up vendor financing arrangements, and it can borrow up to $80 billion as collateral for the value of the hardware it purchases. The secured loan amount can be used from the beginning of 2027 to the third quarter of 2028 at the company's own discretion, and the lender will obtain collateral for part of the purchased assets. Amazon's third-quarter earnings report showed that its capital expenditure increased more than expected, leading to an annual free cash outflow of $42.4 billion as of September 30.
