Amazon saw sales rise in its latest third quarter results. Revenues hit £137.1bn ($180.2bn) for the three months ending 30 September 2025, jumping 13% from the same time last year.
Sales were partially boosted by robust trading by its cloud business AWS, which saw sales increase by a fifth, marking its fastest revenue growth since 2022.
The business’s operating income remained flat year-on-year at £13.3bn ($17.4bn).
Amazon noted that its operating income would have increased without a £1.9bn ($2.5bn) charge from the Federal Trade Commission regarding accusations that it duped members into signing up for Prime.
Additionally, the company said it forecast £1.37bn ($1.8bn) in severance costs as a result of planned role eliminations.
