Amazon reported strong second-quarter results, with its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), posting a 37% revenue increase, surpassing market expectations. This growth was driven by rising enterprise AI spending and investments in AI infrastructure. The company’s e-commerce segment also saw increased activity during Prime Day. Despite robust profits and sales, Amazon offered a cautious outlook for the upcoming quarter. Competitors Microsoft and Alphabet’s Google similarly reported solid cloud revenue growth, reflecting broader industry trends in AI and cloud services.
