Extract¶

Amazon Web Services posted $35.6 billion in revenue for Q4 2025 with 35% operating margins. AWS is highly profitable and a major driver of Amazon's overall profitability. However, Amazon plans $200 billion in 2026 capital expenditure, largely for AI and cloud infrastructure, which will significantly impact free cash flow at the corporate level.
