Amazon is booming: sales jump thanks to cloud and AI – record profits expected!
What's happening at Amazon? The online giant really accelerated in the last quarter and can look forward to a jump in sales of 13 percent. With total sales of an impressive $180 billion (156 billion euros) in the third quarter of 2025, the company exceeded analysts' expectations. This is reported by the Fashion Network.
A look at the numbers shows that the cloud division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), particularly stands out with sales growth of 20 percent to $33 billion. This is the strongest growth since the end of 2022. CEO Andy Jassy is optimistic about the future of cloud services, which are also crucial to artificial intelligence (AI) development initiatives. Jassy highlights that the demand for computing power and AI tools is increasing rapidly, which is contributing significantly to growth, as well IT business determines.
High expectations for the future
A particularly pleasing detail is the profit, which rose by almost 39 percent to over 21 billion dollars. This growth is supported by a stake in the AI startup Anthropic, which brings Amazon an extraordinary profit contribution of 9.5 billion dollars before taxes. Despite the positive development, the operating result stagnated at $17.4 billion due to special charges, including a legal dispute with the FTC and the announced job cuts of 14,000 employees. Without these special charges, the operating result would have been $21.7 billion.
After those numbers were announced, Amazon shares rose nearly 13 percent in after-hours trading, pointing to a possible record high on Friday. Expectations for the final quarter are also high: Amazon expects sales of between $206 and $213 billion. This positive forecast gives the company confidence about the holiday season and highlights its expansion in the AI and cloud sectors, as well IT business reported.
Conclusion: On track despite challenges
Despite global uncertainties, including possible US tariffs, Amazon remains optimistic. Strong momentum in artificial intelligence and improved profitability from advertising and logistics are helping the company stay well in the race. Compared to last year, Amazon continues to present itself as a strong company and a skilled player in a highly competitive market. It remains to be seen how the future develops, but so far Amazon seems to be on a promising course.
