Amazon Q2 sales fall short despite strong AWS growth
Amazon’s overall performance was largely boosted by its AWS segment, which continued to be a ‘top choice’ for customers, as sales soared by 19% to $26.3bn (£21bn)
Amazon has seen net sales rise by 10% to $148bn (£116bn) in the second quarter, up from $134.4bn (£106bn) the prior year, though this was slightly below analysts’ estimates for the period. Its North America segment performed well over the period, with sales rising 9% year-on-year to $90bn (£71bn). International segment sales rose by 7% to $31.7bn (£25bn).
