Amazon records largest quarterly operating profit, boosted by AI
The post Amazon records largest quarterly operating profit, boosted by AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has become the latest American giant to ride the artificial intelligence (AI) wave to hit new revenue levels. The e-commerce giant recorded over $140 billion in first-quarter revenue, hitting its largest quarterly operating profit. In the first three months, Amazon’s revenue was $143.3 billion, surpassing Wall Street estimates of $142.65 billion. The retail giant’s revenue shot up 13% year-over-year while operating income surged 200% to $15.3 billion. Net income saw the highest increase, tripling from $3.17 billion to $10.4 billion.

Already, tens of thousands of its clients rely on Bedrock, its cloud-based AI service, and the CEO projects that many more will sign up as the cost of integrating the technology continues to lower. Some leading AI companies also rely on AWS, including the $18.4 billion Anthropic, in which Amazon has invested $4 billion, its largest venture investment. “We’re seeing strong demand signals from our customers on the AWS side. They’re signing longer deals with larger commitments, many with generative AI components,” commented CFO Brian Olsavsky. Currently, most clients use AWS to train their large language models. However, Jassy stated that in the long term, the biggest opportunity for…
