SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

• Net sales increased 20% to $200.6 billion in the second quarter, compared with $167.7 billion in second quarter 2025. Excluding the $0.1 billion favorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales increased 20% compared with second quarter 2025.
  • North America segment sales increased 16% year-over-year to $116.2 billion.
  • International segment sales increased 15% year-over-year to $42.2 billion.

• Operating income increased to $27.5 billion in the second quarter, compared with $19.2 billion in second quarter 2025.
  • North America segment operating income was $9.1 billion, compared with $7.5 billion in second quarter 2025.
  • International segment operating income was $1.7 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in second quarter 2025.
  • AWS segment operating income was $16.6 billion, compared with $10.2 billion in second quarter 2025.

“AWS is booming, growing 36.7% year-over-year in Q2—our fastest growth in 18 quarters—and our AI and Chips businesses each eclipsed run rates of more than $25 billion,” said Andy Jassy, President and CEO, Amazon. “In Stores, we again set record delivery speeds for Prime members in the first half of the year—over 40% more items delivered same-day or overnight, with Grocery and Everyday Essentials growing meaningfully faster than the rest of the business. And, Advertising had another strong quarter with 26% year-over-year growth. There’s a lot to be excited about, and we have much more coming for customers in the second half of the year and beyond.”

Some other highlights since the company’s last earnings announcement include that Amazon:

• Exceeded a $25 billion annual revenue run rate for AWS’s AI business, growing triple-digit percentages year-over-year.
• Exceeded a $25 billion annual revenue run rate for its chips business, growing triple-digit percentages year-over-year.
• Continued gaining momentum with Trainium, with the two leading AI labs in the world, Anthropic and OpenAI, making multi-year, multi-gigawatt commitments; an increasing number of AI start-ups adopting Trainium, including unicorns like NEURA Robotics and Odyssey; and commitments from other startups like TwelveLabs, Decart, Poolside, Karakuri, Inc., Metagenomi Therapeutics, Inc., NetoAI, and Splash Music, as well as larger companies like Uber and Pinterest.
• Released Graviton5 into general availability. Graviton delivers up to 30 to 40% better price-performance than comparable instances, and Graviton5 delivers up to 25% better compute performance than Graviton4. Graviton is used by 98% of the top 1,000 EC2 customers, revenue commitments have increased nearly 3x quarter-over-quarter, and Graviton5 is growing nearly 2x faster than Graviton4 did.
• Added 10+ fully managed foundation models to Amazon Bedrock, including OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5, Google DeepMind’s Gemma 4, and SpaceXAI’s Grok 4.3. Amazon Bedrock provides the best selection of leading models, at superior performance, and with the governance and security controls that companies need, and it’s continuing to grow quickly—hundreds of thousands of customers now use Bedrock, more customers were added in the last six months than in the first two years after launch, and customers spent more in Q2 than all prior quarters combined.
• Previewed AWS Continuum, which discovers, prioritizes, validates, and remediates code vulnerabilities. It starts by ingesting the backlog of vulnerabilities a team already has, and then leverages the new frontier models to run comprehensive scans. Continuum uses agents and each company’s own business context to prioritize what matters, then validates vulnerabilities in a sandbox and recommends the fix.
• Added new capabilities to Bedrock AgentCore, which provides the building blocks that companies need to quickly and securely deploy and operate agents at scale. New capabilities include Payments (so agents can execute transactions autonomously), Web Search (to ground agents’ knowledge without having to leave AWS), and Harness, which further speeds up how fast customers can stitch together all the infrastructure they need for their agents.
• Made Amazon Quick—an intelligent AI work companion that helps manage, search, and automate digital workloads across email, calendar, local or cloud files, and custom workflows—even more capable, adding autonomous agents that customers set up in plain language to run continuously in the background and carry out multi-step tasks; a personalized activity feed that pulls email, messages, calendar, and tasks into one prioritized view; and 16 new integrations, including Adobe, Moody’s, and Snowflake. Quick manages across leading SaaS tools like Slack, Salesforce, Jira, Teams, and ServiceNow; enforces a company’s existing access controls; and takes actions like scheduling meetings, drafting and sending email, updating a CRM record, building a dashboard, and more.
• Made its spec-drive coding agent, Kiro, available on iOS so developers can now kick off a new project, monitor progress, steer an agent, and interact with Kiro sessions from their phone, desktop, command line, and the web. Kiro is up to 50% more cost-effective than alternatives and tripled in usage quarter-over-quarter.
• Added new capabilities to AWS DevOps Agent, an always-available software operations teammate that helps developers ship software safely and reliably, including Release Management to perform readiness reviews of code changes and autonomously test releases to spot potential issues before they go live.
• Launched serverless infrastructure for agentic AI that scales on demand, including:
  • Lambda MicroVMs, a new flavor of the popular AWS Lambda serverless compute service that not only offers instant start times with the ability to scale all the way up or down depending on demand, but also now provides a stateful runtime with sessions that can last up to 8 hours—ideal for long-running agent loops, multi-step pipelines, or persistent database engines.
  • Next-generation OpenSearch Serverless, which gives agents fast access to search across massive volumes of data, scales capacity up to 20x faster than the previous generation, and offers up to 60% cost savings versus provisioning for peak.
  • Purpose-built log analytics engine for Amazon OpenSearch Service, designed to keep pace with the vast increase in logs being produced by agentic workloads. It delivers up to 4x better price performance compared to the existing general-purpose engine, up to 2x higher data ingestion on the same hardware, and up to 2x faster analytical queries, while retaining up to 3x more data at the same cost—enabling teams to retain and analyze more observability data without choosing between insight and budget.
• Announced an investment of $1 billion to create AWS Forward Deployed Engineering, a team of AI engineers embedded directly with customers to co-develop and deploy agentic AI solutions in days rather than months. Early customers include Allen Institute, Cox Automotive, the NBA, the NFL, Ricoh, and Southwest Airlines.
• Announced general availability of AWS Secret Cloud for Industry, giving defense contractors a faster, more secure path to classified innovation, with Northrop Grumman first to run classified workloads on the platform, and committed up to $1 billion in cloud credits to accelerate U.S. Intelligence Community cloud migration and modernization.
• Announced its global data centers are over 7x more water-efficient than the industry average. Amazon also reached 75% progress toward its goal to be water positive across global data center operations by 2030, and achieved water-positive status across its direct operations in India ahead of its 2027 target.
• Announced new AWS agreements with Warner Bros. Discovery, Vodafone, Siemens Energy, Ryanair, Pinterest, Snowflake, Moody’s, Danske Bank, WNBA, Pennymac, Fiserv, WPP Enterprise Solutions, Vonage, Recursive, fal, Chai Discovery, Odyssey, TwelveLabs, Reactor, OpenRouter, Dash0, New York State Office of Information Technology Services, State of Iowa, University of South Florida, and The University of Utah.
• Continued to expand its ultra-fast delivery service, Amazon Now, which offers delivery in 30 minutes or less on thousands of everyday essentials—adding 80 new cities and towns across the U.S. and several major cities in Egypt. Amazon Now is available in nine countries and over 250 cities and towns globally, and customers love it, with over 80% growth in gross sales and units sold quarter-over-quarter and over 60% more customers served quarter-over-quarter.
• Added millions of new products to its selection, including over 700,000 from notable brands like ADT Blu, Bobbi Brown, BROWN GIRL Jane, CR7 Underwear, LeGer, Mamonde, OLIVA COSMETICS, Rabanne, and Ted Baker.
• Brought together Rufus and Alexa+ into Alexa for Shopping, an agentic AI shopping assistant that offers personalized recommendations, product comparisons, price history, and the ability to automate shopping through features like Price Alerts and Auto-Buy. Worldwide customer adoption and engagement accelerated in Q2, with active users close to doubling and interactions up over 5x year-over-year.
• Launched Amazon Supply Chain Services so any business can move, store, and deliver everything from raw materials to finished products using the same supply chain that supports Amazon, with Procter & Gamble, 3M, Lands’ End, and American Eagle Outfitters among the first customers.
• Reached $60 billion in annualized gross sales for Amazon Business and continued to expand selection—adding nearly 30% more items compared to last year, including Same-Day Delivery of fresh groceries for businesses in 2,300+ U.S. cities and towns.
• Introduced the next-generation of Proteus, an autonomous robot that assists Amazon fulfillment center employees by moving goods up to 1,300 pounds, reducing heavy lifting and further increasing safety. Using AI, employees can now direct Proteus with plain, conversational language.
• Grew the number of new customers for Amazon Pharmacy by more than 2x in the first six months of the year, and same-day prescription deliveries nearly 5x. Also saved customers nearly $250 million so far this year in out-of-pocket costs, up more than 400% year-over-year, through manufacturer discounts applied automatically on an expanded selection of widely prescribed medications.
• Expanded Ads Agent—an AI-powered tool that simplifies planning, launching, and managing advertising campaigns and turns hours of setup and targeting into minutes—to 11 new countries so far this year. Advertisers using Ads Agent see 8% lower cost-per-impression and 6% lower cost-per-acquisition than those that don’t use it.
• Expanded Alexa+ to Germany, Austria, France, and Brazil, with hundreds of millions of customers now using new Alexa experiences, and that number growing every month. Alexa continues to drive meaningful momentum for the business, including in the U.S., where customers who use Alexa for Shopping spend an average of over 40% more per order than those who don’t, and customers who have tried Alexa+ are signing up for Prime at a nearly 25% higher rate.
• Drew 36 million viewers globally for the series premiere of Off Campus on Prime Video in its first 12 days, becoming Prime Video’s No. 3 top-viewed series debut ever.
• Delivered strong viewership for inaugural season of NBA on Prime Video, with a peak of 6.5 million U.S. viewers for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals (outperforming Game 7 on broadcast in 2025). In Europe, viewership of the NBA more than doubled year-over-year on Prime Video, with the highest average viewership on record.
• Averaged 2.3 million viewers during the second season of NASCAR on Prime Video and attracted the youngest audience the last two years among NASCAR broadcasters since 2017.
• Completed four additional launches for Amazon Leo, its low Earth orbit satellite network, bringing the total constellation to nearly 400 satellites in orbit—enough to begin initial satellite internet service this year.
• Received approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Part 555 Exemption) for Zoox to charge for rides—the first purpose-built robotaxi to receive this exemption—paving the way for Zoox to begin offering paid commercial service to customers.
• Supported relief efforts following earthquakes in Venezuela with its Amazon Disaster Relief program, donating and delivering more than 650,000 emergency supplies to more than a dozen nonprofits and establishing weekly humanitarian relief flights to Caracas in a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Airlink, the U.S. State Department, and World Food Programme, delivering approximately 120 tons of supplies.

Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s expectations as of July 30, 2026, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are inherently unpredictable and may be materially affected by many factors, such as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and energy prices, changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions, tariff and trade policies, resource and supply volatility, including for memory chips, and customer demand and spending (including the impact of recessionary fears), inflation, interest rates, regional labor market constraints, world events, the rate of growth of the internet, online commerce, cloud services, and new and emerging technologies, and the various factors detailed below.

Third Quarter 2026 Guidance

• Net sales are expected to be between $197.0 billion and $202.0 billion, or to grow between 9% and 12% compared with third quarter 2025. Excluding the impact of Prime Day in both 2025 and 2026, third quarter 2026 year-over-year growth would be nearly 400 basis points higher. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 80 basis points from foreign exchange rates.
• Operating income is expected to be between $22.5 billion and $26.5 billion, compared with $17.4 billion in third quarter 2025.
• This guidance assumes, among other things, no impact from energy derivative contract remeasurements, and that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded.

Conference Call Information

Forward-Looking Statements
These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, in addition to the factors discussed above, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products and services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income or other taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, variability in demand, the degree to which the Company enters into, maintains, and develops commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services, and technologies, security incidents, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation, and fraud. In addition, global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances, developments, or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Amazon.com’s financial results is included in Amazon.com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings.
