Amazon reports strong growth in its cloud business for the fifth consecutive quarter, with results pointing to continued demand tied to artificial intelligence. Multiple outlets report that Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue grows 37% year over year in the second quarter. Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal both describe AWS cloud sales as accelerating and note that the company sustains the growth streak, which helps address investor concerns about whether spending to support booming AI-related demand will translate into returns. Free Malaysia Today adds that overall second-quarter revenue increases 20% to more than US$200 billion, and that AWS revenue reaches US$42.2 billion.
The reports collectively frame the quarter as a sign that customer demand for computing capacity—often linked to AI workloads—remains robust. While the outlets emphasize investor sentiment and the implications of ongoing infrastructure investment, they agree on the core figures: total revenue growth, AWS growth rate, and the sustained acceleration in cloud revenue across the quarter.
