"Pivoting to new growth drivers
Amazon's North American e-commerce segment grew revenue by 8% year over year to $69.2 billion in the first quarter. But the flagship business posted a $1.57 billion operating loss because of inflation and supply chain-related challenges. It is unclear when these headwinds will resolve, but Amazon's massive scale and diversified business model should help it bounce back over the long term.
Amazon's cloud computing business, AWS, has already grown to become a dominant force in the company. Revenue in this segment increased 37% year over year to $18.4 billion, with operating income jumping 57% to $6.5 billion.
And cloud computing isn't the only trick Amazon has up its sleeve. According to Business Insider, Amazon has become the third-biggest digital advertising company behind Alphabet and Meta Platforms' Facebook. The advertising business grew 23% to $7.9 billion in the first quarter. And Amazon's user base of over 300 million shopping-motivated active users should help it maintain its healthy growth rate.
Amazon is also pushing into direct-to-consumer streaming with its $8.5 billion acquisition of the MGM film studio. While investors probably shouldn't expect Amazon to become the next Netflix, MGM's intellectual property could boost Amazon Prime and help enhance customer satisfaction. Amazon's subscription services brought in $8.4 billion in first-quarter revenue, up 11% from the prior-year period. "
