Key Points

  • Amazon is expected to spend more than $100 billion on capital expenditures in 2025.
  • AWS is losing market share, dropping from 33% in 2022 to 30% in 2024, as competitors like Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure gain ground.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) reported revenues of $155.7 billion in Q1 2025, an 8.6% increase year-over-year, with profits rising to $17.1 billion. However, its stock is only up less than 2% this year amid tariff threats impacting its e-commerce business.

AWS $29.26 billion $17.72 billion $11.54 billion 39.4%

With AWS accounting for a significant portion of Amazon’s profits, its decline in market share could jeopardize future performance, prompting the company to invest heavily in AI and infrastructure.
