Amazon Q3 2026: $201.9B in sales, AWS up 39% for its fastest growth in nearly five years
Amazon reported third-quarter results for the period ended September 30: sales of $201.9 billion, up 12%, and AWS sales of $46.0 billion, up 39%, an annualized run rate of about $184 billion, with 2026 capital spending expected around $220 billion. My take: the cloud giants are collecting revenue and pouring concrete for data centers at the same time, so AI computing will only get more accessible. Rather than waiting for it to get cheaper, learn to use it now.
