Amazon shared strong results for the first quarter of 2025, with a rise in its advertising business. The company’s advertising business made $13.9 billion in revenue, which is 19% more than it made in the same quarter last year.
It also made $155.7 billion in sales, which is 9% more than the same time last year. Its operating income also surged, reaching $18.41 billion.
Andy Jassy, President and CEO, Amazon, said, “We’re pleased with the start to 2025, especially our pace of innovation and progress in continuing to improve customer experiences. From Alexa+ (our next generation of Alexa that’s meaningfully smarter, more capable, and takes actions for customers), to another delivery speed record for our Prime members, to our new Trainium2 chips and Bedrock model expansion that make it easier for AWS customers to train models and run inference more flexibly and cost-effectively, to our first Project Kuiper satellites successfully launching into low earth orbit in our quest to provide broadband access to hundreds of millions of households in rural areas without it today—we’re continuing to find meaningful ways to make customers’ lives easier and better every day.”
