Why Amazon's Massive Retail Business Is No Longer Enough
The company's generally strong second-quarter report late Thursday was marred by what was considered a disappointing showing by its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing business. AWS revenue grew 17% from a year earlier to about $30.9 billion, which was largely flat with the growth rate shown the previous quarter and merely in line with Wall Street's projections. That came after rivals Microsoft and Alphabet's Google reported accelerating growth in their own cloud units for the same period. When pressed about AWS growth on the company's earnings call, Amazon Chief Executive Andy Jassy noted that 'we have a meaningfully larger business in the AWS segment than others.' He is right—to an extent. Microsoft said Wednesday that its Azure cloud-computing arm just surpassed $75 billion in annual revenue, which is about 36% below the $116 billion AWS is currently generating. But Azure doesn't include all of Microsoft's cloud offerings, or even all of its efforts in generative AI services such as Copilot. Microsoft said Wednesday that revenue for its total Microsoft Cloud business increased 27% year over year to $46.7 billion for the June quarter. And that was a sharp acceleration of 7 percentage points from the growth reported for the March quarter. Microsoft's shares rose nearly 4% Thursday after its report. Amazon's stock was down more than 6% in after-hours trading after its results. The irony is that the relative weakness in Amazon's cloud business comes as the company's retail side is humming. The online stores division—which reflects the products Amazon sells itself over its website—saw sales jump 11% year over year to $61.5 billion. That is the best growth rate for that unit since early 2021 when Amazon was still benefiting from a Covid-19-induced online shopping spree. North American operating income that reflects the bulk of Amazon's retail business hit $7.5 billion—34% ahead of Wall Street's projections. And that comes in a quarter clouded by questions about tariffs and the health of consumer spending. Still, given what Amazon, Microsoft and Google are spending to build up generative AI capabilities, trends in their respective cloud-computing arms are watched closely for signs of a return on that investment. And those amounts are getting even more staggering. Amazon said Thursday its cash capital expenditures of $31.4 billion in the second quarter are 'reasonably representative' of what it will spend in the next two periods, which would bring the year's total to about $118 billion. That is nearly double what Amazon averaged over the previous five years, which included a massive step up in investments in the company's order-fulfillment network. And that isn't cheap even for a company that now sells $670 billion of goods and services annually. Amazon's free cash flow is expected to slip 6% this year despite a projected 9% increase in sales, according to consensus estimates from Visible Alpha. Amazon's big-spending, Big Tech rivals are in the same boat. But Microsoft, Google and Meta Platforms gave investors plenty of good news in their latest reports that softened the blow of those big bills. If Amazon is going to sell its AI vision, it will need AWS to pack a bigger punch. Write to Dan Gallagher at

Trump calls India's economy 'dead' – but that makes no sense
Recently, Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, made fun of India's economy by calling it 'dead.' But that's a strange and silly thing to say. Think about it: An economy is alive as long as people are buying, selling, and trading things — even if it's just one person giving a teabag to a friend in exchange for some biscuits. That's still trade! India has over 1.4 billion people, which means there are tons of trades and businesses happening every second. So how can it be 'dead'? Also, if India's economy was really dead, why is Trump so eager to sell things like soybeans, corn, and butter to India? You don't trade with something that isn't working. He even spent four months trying to make a trade deal — and only gave up when he got frustrated and added extra taxes (called tariffs) on Indian goods. India's economy is actually growing faster than any other big country's right now. That's not what a dead economy looks like. Even countries that aren't growing fast — like Japan — are still very much alive and running. Trump has said strange things before. Once, he told a man his father would be proud 'looking down on him,' thinking the father had passed away. But the man said his dad was still alive. Trump just replied, 'Then he's even more proud!' So when Trump says 'dead,' it might not mean what you think — or it might not mean anything at all. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.

Wall St sees worst session since May on US eco jitters
. Wall Street traders drove stocks towards their worst session since May, as weak jobs and manufacturing data revived concerns about the economy, a day after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs. Bond yields sank on bets that the Fed will cut rates soon. The S& fell 1.2%, with Amazon leading losses on an underwhelming profit outlook. Short-term yields headed toward their biggest plunge since Aug 2024. Money markets fully priced in two rate cuts in 2025, with an 80% chance of a reduction in Sept. The dollar sank. Job growth cooled sharply over the past three months and the unemployment rate rose. Payrolls increased 73,000 in July after the prior two months were revised down by nearly 260,000. In the last three months, employment growth has averaged a paltry 35,000 - the worst since the pandemic. "What had looked like a Teflon labour market showed some scratches this morning," said Ellen Zentner at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. "A Fed that still appeared hesitant to lower rates may see a clearer path to a Sept cut, especially if data over the next month confirms the trend." A separate report showed US factory activity contracted in July at the fastest pace in nine months, dragged down by a faster decline in employment as orders continued to shrink. The twin shocks - a slew of new tariffs that boosted the average US rate on goods from across the world and evidence of a cooling labor market - sent investors scrambling to reassess the economic outlook.
