Amazon Set to Report Q3 Earnings Amid Focus on AWS Growth and AI Capital Expenditure
Amazon (AMZN) is scheduled to release its third-quarter earnings after the market close this Thursday. Investors are primarily focused on the performance of Amazon Web Services (AWS), with analysts projecting a 38% revenue increase, marking five consecutive quarters of acceleration. CEO Andy Jassy has indicated that cloud capacity is largely sold out through next year and into 2028 due to high demand. However, scrutiny remains high regarding Amazon's aggressive capital expenditure related to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company's heavy investment in data centers has significantly impacted cash flow; estimates suggest a quarterly outflow of $9.9 billion. This trend follows recent workforce reductions aimed at improving operational efficiency as the company pivots resources toward its AI build-out.
