Amazon entered this week with the news of tens of thousands of layoffs, which might have overshadowed its latest earnings announcement. However, despite reducing its headcount by around 30,000 employees, the company delivered strong financial results for Q3 2025.
Amazon released its Q3 2025 earnings report on its investor relations website this week, revealing impressive numbers. The company reported revenue of $180.2 billion, surpassing Wall Street analysts’ expectations of $177.96 billion.
Earnings per share (EPS) also exceeded forecasts. While analysts expected an EPS of $1.58 and Earnings Whisper projected $1.74, Amazon ultimately reported $1.95 per share.
Beyond the financials, Amazon has remained active with its investments in Twitch, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and artificial intelligence. The company has also been involved in controversial government projects in partnership with the Trump administration.
Nonetheless, the headlines earlier this week were dominated by Amazon’s decision to lay off more than 30,000 employees, primarily from Amazon Games and other segments of the business. Despite these cuts, Amazon’s strong quarterly performance highlights its continued resilience and growth.
