Amazon strengthens its results as the AI ​​battle takes shape

Amazon strengthens its results as the AI ​​battle takes shape


Amazon is perhaps not yet the big winner in the artificial intelligence race between the technology giants. But he is not losing ground either.

The e-commerce titan’s third-quarter results Thursday evening seemed to paint a mixed picture on that front. Total revenue of $143.1 billion increased 13% from the same period last year, beating the 11% growth Wall Street expected. And operating profit soared to a record $11.2 billion from $2.5 billion in last year’s third quarter, beating analysts’ consensus target by almost half. . This has been aided by strong growth in advertising and third-party seller services, both of which offer higher profit margins than Amazon’s more typical retail sales.
