In the latest batch of 13F filings for the June 30, 2026 reporting period, 46 of 72 funds held Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), according to data from Holdings Channel. Among those, four notable funds — SPX Gestao de Recursos Ltda, Lombard Odier Asset Management Europe Ltd, Pangea Capital Gestao de Recursos Ltda., and Loews Corp — completely exited their AMZN positions during the quarter.
The filings, submitted to the SEC between mid-July and mid-August 2026, reveal a mixed picture for Amazon’s institutional ownership. While some large asset managers added to their stakes, the aggregate share count among the funds reviewed dropped sharply, from 6.85 billion shares on March 31 to just 173.7 million by June 30 — a decline of approximately 97.5%. That figure, however, is skewed by the fact that many of the largest holders of AMZN, such as Vanguard and BlackRock, have not yet filed their 13F reports for the period.

Key Moves in the Latest 13F Batch
Within the 72 funds analyzed, the data shows 20 funds increased their existing AMZN positions, 21 reduced them, and 4 opened new positions. Bank of America Corp added roughly 9 million shares, while State Street Corp increased its stake by about 6.7 million shares. Franklin Resources and JPMorgan Chase also raised their holdings, though JPMorgan’s share count actually fell by 2.7 million, with the market value increase reflecting Amazon’s price appreciation during the quarter.
On the sell side, Wellington Management Group cut 7.3 million shares, and Bank of Nova Scotia reduced its position by 4.6 million shares. The exits by SPX Gestao, Lombard Odier, Pangea Capital, and Loews were notable given their previous stakes, but they represent a small fraction of Amazon’s total institutional ownership.

What the 13F Data Does and Doesn’t Tell Us
13F filings only require disclosure of long positions, not short positions or derivatives. A fund could hold shares as part of a broader bearish strategy, such as writing call options against its stock. As a result, a reduction in reported holdings doesn’t necessarily signal a negative view on Amazon — it could reflect hedging activity, tax-loss harvesting, or portfolio rebalancing.
Still, the aggregate decline in AMZN shares among this early batch of filers is worth noting, especially as Amazon continues to face questions about its cloud growth and AI infrastructure spending. The company’s stock has been volatile in 2026, and institutional investors are clearly making divergent bets on its near-term prospects.
Looking Ahead: Full Picture Still Emerging
This batch of 72 filers represents only a fraction of the 8,799 institutional managers that file 13F reports. The full picture of Amazon’s institutional ownership for Q2 2026 will become clearer as more funds, including the largest index fund providers, submit their filings by the August 14 deadline (which was extended to August 17 for some filers due to the weekend).
Investors should also note that the top three holders in this batch — Assenagon Asset Management, Robeco Institutional Asset Management, and the New York State Teachers Retirement System — each reported more than 7.5 million shares. Their continued presence suggests that while some hedge funds are trimming, long-term institutional investors remain committed.
As always, 13F data is backward-looking and doesn’t reflect current positions. For a more complete view, investors should monitor Amazon’s earnings calls, analyst reports, and broader market trends.
