Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) reported mixed results in its 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Q1 FY 2022 earnings report. 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Earnings per share (EPS) were -$7.56, far below analyst predictions.

Net losses include a pre-tax valuation loss of $7.6 billion included in non-operating expense from the company's investment in Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN). Amazon's revenue matched analyst forecasts. Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue exceeded consensus estimates.

AMZN AWS Revenue

Revenue of $18.3 billion from AWS, the company's high-margin 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:cloud computing business, marked a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase and beat analyst predictions. Amazon said that AWS growth was driven by new commitments from customers across industries such as telecommunications, aerospace, sports, technology, and healthcare. AWS was the only one of Amazon's segments to report net operating income for the quarter.

In FY 2021, Amazon's global retail sales- and subscription-based business segments generated about 87.5% of the company's total revenue, while AWS accounted for a mere 12.5%.
