firstadopter · x · 2026-07-31
Amazon AWS reported Q4 revenue of $42.2B, beating estimates of $40.5B. On the earnings call, executives stated:
- CapEx expected to reach $220B in 2026 (up from prior $200B), yet still insufficient to meet demand in 2026; similar tightness in 2027, with striking demand already for 2028.
- Enterprise inference at scale is still early.
- AWS could eventually reach $1 trillion in annual revenue.
- Memory demand shortage to persist for years, bullish for AI chip trade.
