Amazon (AMZN) released its Q3 2025 earnings report on Thursday, showcasing profitability across multiple segments. One of the key highlights was the performance of Amazon Web Services (AWS), which continues to be a significant growth driver for the company.
AWS segment sales increased 20 percent year-over-year, reaching $33 billion. “AWS is growing at a pace we haven’t seen since 2022, re-accelerating to 20.2% YoY,” said Amazon President and CEO Andy Jassy in the earnings report. He added, “We continue to see strong demand in AI and core infrastructure, and we’ve been focused on accelerating capacity, adding more than 3.8 gigawatts in the past 12 months.”
In addition to AWS, Amazon’s physical stores are also benefiting from ongoing innovation in its fulfillment network. The company is on track to deliver to Prime members at the fastest speeds ever again this year. Furthermore, it plans to expand same-day delivery of perishable groceries to over 2,300 communities by the end of the year, while doubling the number of rural communities with access to Amazon’s Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery services.
Amazon also reported that AWS operating income came in at $11.4 billion, up $1 billion year-over-year. This figure includes severance costs related to planned role eliminations across multiple departments.
While impressive AWS numbers are typical on earnings day, the timing is somewhat unfavorable for Amazon. A recent AWS outage disrupted businesses worldwide on a massive scale, drawing attention to the cloud segment’s critical role and potential vulnerabilities.
