Amazon reported its third-quarter earnings on October 29, 2026, highlighting major investments in artificial intelligence and automation. PYMNTS reported that the company has now deployed more than one million robots across its operations. The announcement comes as investors examine whether high spending on technology will generate sufficient cash flow to ease concerns about an artificial intelligence spending bubble. [1]
Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy stated during an earnings call that Amazon Web Services could eventually become a trillion-dollar revenue business. PYMNTS reported that Jassy projected this growth timeline to take place within five to ten years. The quarterly results and executive comments focused heavily on the future performance of the cloud unit. [1]
