Andrew Jassy, President and CEO of Amazon, discussed the company's Q2 FY26 financial results on July 30, 2026. He reported revenue of $200.6 billion, up 20% year-over-year, and operating income of $27.5 billion, up 43%. Jassy stated that Amazon plans to spend approximately $220 billion in cash capital expenditures in 2026, an increase from a prior estimate of $200 billion, citing higher memory costs and strong demand for AI and AWS services. He said that even at this level of spending, the company would not have enough capacity to meet all demand in 2026 and expected this dynamic to continue into 2027. Jassy also said he believes AWS could become a trillion-dollar annual revenue business over time, and noted an AWS backlog of $496 billion. He mentioned that Amazon received approximately $600 million in tariff-related refunds in Q2, and that the company had largely absorbed tariff cost increases rather than passing them on to customers. During a June 2026 visit to India, Jassy announced an increase in Amazon's investment commitment in the country from $35 billion to $48 billion for the period 2026–2030, with the additional $13 billion directed toward cloud and AI infrastructure. He said India is becoming a significant global cloud and AI hub and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for the country's development. Jassy also discussed Amazon's expansion of quick commerce, noting that same-day perishables are now offered in 2,300 U.S. cities and that monthly active perishable customers have increased 50% since the start of the year. In interviews, he described AI as "the most transformative technology of our lifetime," stating that it will change every customer experience and job, with some existing roles being automated while new jobs are created. He cited examples of agentic coding tools enabling small teams to complete large projects in significantly less time.

Notable quotes

“I think AI is the most transformative technology in our lifetime and um it'll it'll change every customer experience we know, but it'll also change every job we all do. I mean, I think the way the humans do their jobs will be very different um every year for the coming, you know, next 5 to 10 years. And I think it'll mean that you'll have fewer humans doing some of the jobs we've had humans doing for a while and you'”

“We're in a time of some of largest inflections in history of our lifetime, if you're able and willing to spend capital on some of these customer experiences, you have an opportunity to not only change what is possible for customers, but also build I think really successful businesses. The nature of something like LEO is that it is capital intensive in general up and front, so first couple years, you see that capital ”

“We have a significant investment that we're making. It's in two tranches — the first tranche will be in the next month here, $15 billion, and the second tranche will come when certain milestones are met.”

“I mean, it is now a $132 billion annual run rate for AWS, but back then, we were just consuming a lot of capital and operating income and hoping we could build a business that really mattered for customers.”

“We did a lot of pre-buying in the early part of 2025 to enable us to try and keep prices as low as possible for customers, and a lot of our third party sellers did a lot of forward staging in our fulfillment network for the same reasons. That supply has run out in the fall, and you start to see some of the tariffs creep into the prices of some of the items.”

“There has been so much regulation over the last couple years, particularly outside the US; some of that I understand, but some of it is pretty constraining and maybe not great for customers in those geographies. We're trying to have conversations about how to accomplish what governments want to accomplish but also make it easy for their companies and consumers to have the experiences they get elsewhere.”
