<h2 id="amazon-revenue-reaches-200-6-billion">Amazon Revenue Reaches $200.6 Billion</h2>
<p>Amazon reported second-quarter net sales of $200.6 billion, up 20% from $167.7 billion one year earlier. Foreign exchange changes added only $0.1 billion, leaving underlying growth at the same rate. North American sales increased 16% to $116.2 billion during the quarter.</p>
<p>International revenue rose 15% to $42.2 billion, while AWS revenue reached the same total.&nbsp; <a href="https://blockonomi.com/amazon-amzn-stock-why-aws-is-poised-to-dominate-the-ai-infrastructure-race/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AWS</a> grew much faster, with sales increasing 37% from the previous year. Advertising revenue also rose 26%, extending Amazon’s growth beyond retail and cloud services.</p>
<p>Operating income increased to $27.5 billion from $19.2 billion in the prior-year quarter. North American operating income reached $9.1 billion, while international income rose to $1.7 billion. AWS operating income climbed to $16.6 billion from $10.2 billion.</p>
<h2 id="anthropic-gain-boosts-quarterly-profit">Anthropic Gain Boosts Quarterly Profit</h2>
<p><a href="https://blockonomi.com/q2-earnings-lift-amazon-amzn-stock-toward-breakout-zone/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Amazon</a> posted net income of $62.6 billion, compared with $18.2 billion one year earlier. Diluted earnings reached $5.75 per share, up from $1.68 per share. A $53.4 billion pre-tax gain from investments, mainly Anthropic, significantly lifted the quarterly result.</p>
<p>Operating cash flow increased 33% to $161.4 billion for the trailing twelve months. Meanwhile, free cash flow moved to a $7.6 billion outflow from an $18.2 billion inflow. Higher capital spending drove the change as Amazon expanded data centers and computing infrastructure.</p>
<p>Property and equipment purchases increased by $66.1 billion from the prior-year period. Amazon directed much of that spending toward cloud capacity, chips, and artificial intelligence services. Those investments supported faster AWS growth but reduced near-term free cash flow.</p>
<h2 id="aws-growth-drives-wider-expansion">AWS Growth Drives Wider Expansion</h2>
<p>AWS recorded its fastest growth in 18 quarters as enterprise demand strengthened. Its artificial intelligence business exceeded a $25 billion annual revenue run rate. Amazon’s chip business also passed a $25 billion annual run rate with triple-digit growth.</p>
<p><a href="https://blockonomi.com/amazon-amzn-stock-seeks-fcc-approval-for-5000-direct-to-phone-satellites/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Amazon</a> expanded Trainium adoption through commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI, startups, and major companies. It also released Graviton5, which delivers stronger computing performance than the previous generation. Revenue commitments for Graviton nearly tripled from the previous quarter.</p>
<p>Beyond cloud services, Amazon expanded fast delivery, business logistics, pharmacy, advertising, and streaming operations. Amazon Now added 80 United States cities and now serves more than 250 cities globally across nine countries. Amazon Business reached $60 billion in annualized gross sales and expanded its product selection for commercial customers.</p>
