Q2 2026 · 30 Jul 2026For Q2 2026, Amazon reported revenue of $200.6 billion, up 20% year-over-year, and operating income of $27.5 billion, up 43%. AWS was a standout, with revenue of $42.2 billion (up 36.7%) and an annualized run rate of $169 billion. The company raised its 2026 cash CapEx guidance to approximately $220 billion, up from $200 billion, citing higher memory costs and robust AI demand.

While the transcript does not explicitly state the GAAP EPS, the significant beat in operating income versus expectations suggests an earnings beat relative to consensus. Management emphasized that despite heavy capital investment, AI demand remains strong, with AWS expected to eventually reach $1 trillion in annual revenue.

Amazon: $3 Trillion Is A Milestone, Not A Ceiling
Summary Amazon surpassed a $3 trillion market cap, driven by record Q2 2026 results and robust fundamentals, not just multiple expansion.

CapEx guidance increased to $220 billion for 2026, but management emphasized demand is locked in, with a $496 billion AWS backlog growing triple digits YoY. I remain bullish as AWS, AI, and advertising scale rapidly; FCF inflection is the next catalyst, and $3 trillion is a milestone, not a ceiling. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
