Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) reported its Q3 2025 earnings on October 31, showing a revenue increase of 13% year-over-year to $180.2 billion, with earnings rising 38.6% to $21.2 billion. Key segments included North America and international revenue growth of 11% and 14%, respectively, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) grew 20%.
