Amazon’s E-commerce and Cloud Performance
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) remains a dominant player in e-commerce and cloud computing, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) now generating substantial revenue. In Q3 2025, AWS reported strong double-digit revenue growth, holding approximately one-third of the cloud market share and operating margins exceeding 30%. Amazon continues to rank as the second-largest retailer globally, behind Walmart, bolstered by its efficient logistics network.
Investors who purchased shares at Amazon’s IPO in 1997 have seen their investment grow from $410 to $1 million. However, future growth is expected to be limited; analysts suggest the current valuation makes Amazon shares worth reconsidering, yet do not anticipate the same explosive returns moving forward.
