Amazon's Q2 2026 results show strong growth in AWS, with revenue reaching $42.2 billion and operating income rising to $16.6 billion, driven by AI demand and strategic partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic. The company increased its full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $220 billion to support AI and cloud infrastructure expansion. Customer commitments in AWS have grown to $496 billion, signaling strong future revenue visibility. However, aggressive investments have led to significant negative cash flow, and unresolved tax disputes, particularly in India, pose material risks.
