Amazon delivered a stunning quarterly performance that sent its shares surging 7% as the company’s massive artificial intelligence investments began paying dividends. While traditional e-commerce operations remained strong, the technology giant’s aggressive push into AI emerged as the primary growth catalyst, with CEO Andy Jassy describing the opportunity as “unusually large, perhaps a once-in-a-generation chance.”
The e-commerce behemoth reported earnings per share of $1.43, substantially outperforming analyst expectations of $1.14. Revenue climbed 11% to reach $158.88 billion, also surpassing market forecasts.
Amazon’s operating income demonstrated remarkable improvement, jumping from $11.2 billion to $17.4 billion, indicating the success of CEO Jassy’s efficiency initiatives. Net profit showed impressive growth as well, increasing from $9.9 billion to $15.3 billion—a gain that exceeded even the most optimistic projections.
