Amazon Web Services reported $35.6 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 24 percent year-on-year increase that represents the segment\u2019s strongest quarterly growth rate in more than three years. This performance stemmed from sustained cloud demand, new customer agreements, and expansion in AI workloads.<\/p>\n
The $35.6 billion figure marked the largest growth rate for AWS in 13 consecutive quarters. Amazon stated that the business segment\u2019s annual revenue run rate reached $142 billion. Operating income for the quarter rose to $12.5 billion, up from $10.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the company\u2019s fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Andy Jassy addressed the significance of this growth. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s very different having 24 percent year-over-year growth on $142 billion annualized run rate than to have a higher percentage growth on a meaningfully smaller base, which is the case with our competitors.\u201d Jassy added, \u201cWe continue to add more incremental revenue and capacity than others, and extend our leadership position.\u201d These remarks underscored AWS\u2019s scale relative to competitors.<\/p>\n
Several new agreements contributed to the quarter\u2019s results. AWS secured deals with Salesforce, BlackRock, Perplexity, and the U.S. Air Force, along with other companies and government entities. Jassy highlighted AWS\u2019s dominance among startups, stating, \u201cMore of the top 500 U.S. startups use AWS as their primary cloud provider than the next two providers combined.\u201d He also noted, \u201cWe\u2019re adding significant easy-to-core computing capacity each day.\u201d These partnerships expanded AWS\u2019s customer base across enterprise, financial, AI, and government sectors.<\/p>\n
Infrastructure investments supported this expansion. AWS added more than one gigawatt of power to its data-center network during the fourth quarter. Enterprise migrations played a key role, as Jassy explained that a substantial portion of AWS\u2019s business derives from companies shifting infrastructure from on-premise environments to the cloud. The AI sector provided additional momentum. Jassy attributed this to AWS\u2019s comprehensive AI stack, which spans from foundational models to deployment tools.<\/p>\n
Customers increasingly consolidate workloads on AWS. Jassy observed, \u201cWe consistently see customers wanting to run their AI workloads where the rest of their applications and data are.\u201d He continued, \u201cWe\u2019re also seeing that as customers run large AI workloads on AWS, they\u2019re adding to their core AWS footprint as well.\u201d This pattern integrates AI with existing cloud operations, driving further adoption.<\/p>\n
AWS generated 16.6 percent of Amazon\u2019s total $213.4 billion revenue for the fourth quarter. Amazon shares declined 10 percent in after-hours trading following the report. Investors responded to the company\u2019s announcement of increased capital expenditures and results that missed Wall Street expectations for earnings per share.<\/p>\n
