What happened
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on the quarterly earnings call that AWS could become a trillion-dollar annual revenue business, and that he expects growth above 40% in both 2027 and 2028. He said cash capital expenditure in 2026 will be about $220bn, most of it going to AWS, and will rise noticeably again in 2027. AWS revenue grew 39% year on year this quarter, with an annualised revenue run rate of $184bn. Despite Jassy's optimistic outlook, investors remain doubtful and the shares fell about 6% after hours.
