Amazon (AMZN) released its Q3 2025 earnings report on Thursday, showcasing profitability across multiple segments. A key highlight was the performance of Amazon Web Services (AWS), which continues to be a major growth driver for the company.
AWS segment sales increased by 20 percent year-over-year, reaching $33 billion USD. “AWS is growing at a pace we haven’t seen since 2022, re-accelerating to 20.2% YoY,” said Amazon President and CEO Andy Jassey 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 highlighted progress in its retail operations. “In Stores, we continue to realize the benefits of innovating in our fulfillment network,” Jassey noted. The company is on track to deliver to Prime members at the fastest speeds ever again this year. It also plans to expand same-day delivery of perishable groceries to over 2,300 communities by year-end and aims to double the number of rural communities with access to Amazon’s Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery services.
Amazon reported that AWS operating income stood at $11.4 billion, marking a $1 billion increase year-over-year. This figure takes into account severance costs related to planned role eliminations across several departments.
While AWS’s strong results were expected on earnings day, the timing comes amid recent challenges. A significant AWS outage disrupted businesses worldwide on a massive scale, underscoring the critical importance of uptime and reliability for the cloud services giant.
