KI-Boom: Amazon profitiert von Cloud-Geschäft
Amazon ist der weltgrößte Onlinehändler und ein führender Player bei Cloud-Diensten. Im KI-Boom sorgt das für Wachstum – aber bringt auch hohe Kosten für neue Rechenzentren.
Amazon continues to reap significant profits from its cloud business, with the AWS division accelerating growth and increasing revenue 39% year-over-year to $46 billion. The segment generated an operating profit of $17.8 billion, a 55% increase compared to last year. Amazon aims to capitalize on the current AI boom through its cloud business, AWS.
The company has allocated $220 billion for capital investments this year to expand its data centers. However, Amazon's retail business forecast fell short of market expectations for the important Christmas quarter, causing its stock to drop by more than six percent in after-hours trading. Despite this, Amazon reported a 12% increase in consolidated revenue year-over-year to $201.9 billion.
Overall, Amazon's earnings fell by nearly two percent to $20.7 billion, primarily attributed to valuation gains from its investment in AI company Anthropic the previous year.
