Amazon reported Q3 2026 revenue of $201.9B and operating profit of $28.1B, while AWS grew 39.3% to about $46B. Management expects AWS growth above 40% in 2027 and 2028, with revenue potentially reaching $1 trillion within five to ten years, and said commitments for Graviton and Trainium rose over 20x year over year.
