Amazon FXN revenue growth accelerated to +20% in 2Q, the fastest in 20 qtrs,
w/acceleration across both AWS & Stores. AWS growth of +37% was the fastest
in 18 quarters, while backlog increased nearly 2.5x Y/Y & +36% Q/Q to $496B
on stronger demand across both core workloads and AI adoption. AWS’ AI
and chips businesses both exceeded $25B+ ARR & grew triple-digits, while
Graviton also saw revenue commitments increase 3x Q/Q. We’re also encouraged
by the strength in the core AWS business, which has a high correlation with AI
revenue, and we expect this relationship to further strengthen over time as more AI
workloads move into full-scale production and drive additional demand for core
services. Bedrock adoption remains strong with more customers added in the last
6 months than in the first 2 years post-launch and customers spending more in 2Q
than in all prior quarters combined. Outside of Bedrock, AMZN confirmed that it
is pursuing its own frontier model with the near-term focus on internal usage, but
eventually offering it externally. AMZN OI of $27.5B (43% Y/Y) came in 15%
above our $23.9B driven by strong AWS margin expansion, though also included
$1.2B in 1x benefits, w/$600M in tariff refunds benefiting NA OI and$600M
related to derivative accounting for energy contracts which benefited AWS OI. 2Q
AWS margins expanded by ~650bps to 39.4% (~37.9% ex-1x benefits) driven by
revenue upside as well as efficiency gains & capacity optimization. Importantly,
management emphasized that the ROIC on its AI investments is compelling and
it has a clear line-of-sight to strong financial returns. In terms of the ROIC
framework, it takes less than three years to breakeven on server and networking
equipment investments, which have a useful life of at least 5-6 years, while data
centers have 30+ year useful lives, enabling five to six generations of servers over
time.…
