Amazon Shares Jump 7 percent on Strong Q3 Results

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) reported third-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, pushing its stock up over 7% intra-day today. The tech giant’s performance was boosted by growth in artificial intelligence, particularly within its cloud division.
Amazon posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.43, beating the forecasted $1.14, and reported revenue of $158.9 billion, surpassing estimates of $157.25 billion and marking an 11% year-over-year increase.
CEO Andy Jassy highlighted “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunities emerging from generative AI, which has spurred an uptick in cloud demand as businesses ramp up investment in the necessary infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) saw a substantial lift, with sales jumping 19% to $27.5 billion. Jassy noted that AI-driven operations within AWS were experiencing “triple-digit” growth.
The surge in AI demand, however, has led Amazon to significantly boost capital expenditures on data centers and networking, with $75 billion planned for this year and even higher spending expected in 2024.
Amazon’s AI-powered shopping assistant, Rufus, expanded to additional markets, while new AI tools were rolled out for sellers and advertisers, enhancing the company’s offerings as it heads into the holiday season. North American sales rose 9% to $95.5 billion, with international sales up 12% to $35.9 billion. Amazon’s operating margin reached a record 11%, with AWS margins hitting an all-time high of 38%.
For the fourth quarter, Amazon projected revenue between $181.5 billion and $188.5 billion, just below the midpoint of Wall Street analysts’ $186.36 billion estimate. The company forecasted Q4 operating income between $16.0 billion and $20.0 billion.
