Amazon shares jump 15.32% after Jassy says AWS could become a $1 trillion revenue business
Amazon's strong Q2 results and accelerating AWS growth (37% YoY) boosted investor confidence, reinforced by CEO Andy Jassy's view that AWS can scale toward a $1T revenue opportunity. AI and chip revenue run-rates above $25B and a rising backlog underscore demand durability, though higher capex and a softer Q3 revenue range versus consensus introduce near-term margin and expectation-management sensitivity.
