Amazon's Earnings Top Expectations as Online Sales, AWS Deliver Strong Growth

Amazon (AMZN) reported second-quarter earnings that topped analysts' expectations, with better-than-expected growth in its Amazon Web Services as AI demand booms. The e-commerce and cloud services giant delivered quarterly revenue of $167.7 billion, up 13% year-over-year and above the analyst consensus from Visible Alpha. Net income of $18.2 billion, or $1.68 per share, compared to $13.5 billion, or $1.26 per share, a year earlier, topping Wall Street's estimates. Online store sales grew 11% to $61.49 billion, beating estimates, and revenue from Amazon Web Services revenue increased 18% to $30.9 billion, also above Street projections. 'Our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out," CEO Andy Jassy said. 'Our AI progress across the board continues to improve our customer experiences, speed of innovation, operational efficiency, and business growth, and I'm excited for what lies ahead," he added. Looking ahead, Amazon forecast third-quarter revenue of $174 billion to $179.5 billion. Analysts had called for $173.17 billion. Shares of Amazon declined about 3% in after-hours trading. The stock was up 7% for 2025 through Thursday's close. Read the original article on Investopedia

Amazon announces Q2 earnings above Wall Street expectations, better-than-expected Q3 guidance

Amazon (AMZN) announced its second quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, beating on the top and bottom lines and offering better-than-anticipated Q3 guidance of between $174 billion and $179.5 billion. Analysts were expecting $173.2 billion. Still, shares fell more than 2% following the report, as AWS performance failed to live up to the hype built up by Google and Microsoft, with Q3 operating income guidance coming in at $15.5 billion to $20.5 billion. Wall Street was looking for $19.5 billion. For the quarter, Amazon reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.68 on revenue of $167.7 billion. Wall Street was anticipating EPS of $1.33 and revenue of $162.1 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. The company saw EPS of $1.26 and revenue of $147.9 in the same quarter last year. AWS revenue hit $30.8 billion versus an expected $30.7 billion. It topped $26.2 billion in Q2 last year. Rival Microsoft, meanwhile, reported that its Azure business generated $75 billion in fiscal 2025, helping to push its market capitalization past the $4 trillion mark in early trading Thursday. Microsoft is only the second company to reach the milestone behind Nvidia (NVDA). Google parent Alphabet also saw strong results, noting cloud revenue climbed 32% and backlog, or purchase commitments from customers not yet realized, rose 38%. Search also performed better than expected during the quarter, with sales increasing 12% year over year. Outside of AWS, Amazon posted online store sales of $61.4 billion. 'The consumer was far more resilient than expected in 2Q, with CEO Andy Jassy saying in May that "we have not seen any attenuation of demand at this point,' Wedbush analyst Scott Devitt wrote in a note to investors ahead of earnings.

Amazon reports solid 2Q results and offers better-than-expected sales view despite tariffs

Amazon posted higher fiscal second-quarter profit and sales, helped by its four-day sales event in July and underscoring its resilience despite tariff uncertainty. The company also offered a sales outlook for the current quarter that beat analysts' projections. Still, investors pushed its shares 4% lower in after-market trading. The Seattle-based company also reported 17.5% growth for its prominent cloud computing arm Amazon Web Services, it said after the market closed Thursday. The results come even as uncertainty about President Donald Trump's tariffs have challenged companies and consumers. But Amazon and other large retailers have tried to beat the clock by bringing in foreign goods before Trump's tariffs took effect. Amazon earned $18.16 billion, or $1.68 per share, for the quarter ended June 30. That's up from $13.49 billion, or $1.26 per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue rose to $167.7 billion from $147.9 billion a year ago. The company's sales were helped by Amazon's Prime event amid tariff-related price worries. For the first time, Seattle-based Amazon held Prime Day over four days instead of two. Analysts expected earnings per share of $1.33 on sales of $162.19 billion for the quarter.
