Amazon (AMZN) released its Q3 2025 earnings report on Thursday, showcasing profitability across multiple segments. A key focus of the report was Amazon Web Services (AWS), which demonstrated significant growth.
AWS segment sales increased 20% 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 highlighted strong demand in AI and core infrastructure, stating, “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 growth, Amazon reported progress in its physical stores and fulfillment network. The company is on track to deliver to Prime members at the fastest speeds ever this year. It also plans to expand same-day delivery of perishable groceries to over 2,300 communities by the end of the year and double the number of rural communities with access to Amazon’s Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery.
Amazon also revealed that the AWS segment operating income stood at $11.4 billion, up $1 billion year-over-year. This figure includes severance costs related to planned role eliminations across multiple departments.
While Amazon’s strong AWS numbers are expected on earnings day, the timing is somewhat challenged by a recent AWS outage. The disruption affected businesses worldwide on a massive scale, adding a note of complexity to the otherwise positive report.
