Amazon's AI-driven AWS posts fastest growth in 18 quarters despite high capex spending.

Amazon's AWS segment achieved its fastest growth in 18 quarters with a 37% year-over-year revenue increase to $42.23 billion, driven by strong AI investments and custom silicon adoption. Despite heavy capital expenditures causing free cash flow to turn negative, Amazon's management highlights long-term contracted demand and a growing backlog of $496 billion, supporting confidence in future profitability. AWS operating margin remains high at 39.4%, and the company plans to double power capacity by 2027, positioning AWS to potentially become a trillion-dollar revenue business. This growth and strategic investment justify continued investor interest despite short-term financial risks.

Amazon's stock is currently trading at USD 252.83 on Pluang, showing a modest 0.65% gain in the last day. The company's market cap stands at $2.71 trillion, reflecting strong investor interest as of Sep 18, 2026 22:41 WIB.
