👀👀👉Amazon's $11 Billion AI Data Center Boosts Cloud Performance in Q3
Amazon's third-quarter 2025 earnings report showed the company beat expectations on both revenue and profit. It posted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.95, up 33% from the previous year and higher than the $1.57 expected by analysts. Revenue for the quarter was $180.2 billion, exceeding forecasts of about $177.8 billion. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud computing division, was a standout with revenue of $33 billion, growing 20% year-over-year, which surpassed the anticipated $32.4 billion and an 18% growth forecast. The strong cloud performance helped push Amazon's stock price up by around 9% after the earnings announcement.
The results were seen as a positive sign, especially amid strong competition in cloud computing from Microsoft and Google, who have also reported rapid growth. Amazon is investing heavily in AI
infrastructure, including opening a new $11 billion AI data center to support Anthropic, an AI startup it backs. This quarter's results reflect strong momentum for Amazon, driven significantly by its cloud and AI investments.
