Rest of Amazon Q1: 4.7 billion net revenue.
- jedberg 5y agoAnd that's why the CEO of AWS is now the CEO of Amazon. :)
- nixpulvis 5y agoThese should be separate companies.
- teruakohatu 5y agoWhy? Amazon relies on AWS and Amazon's in-the-trenches experience no doubt helps shape AWS. Ebay and Paypal split, but Paypal was worth a lot more than Ebay at the time and now it is worth ~10x as much.
- wyldfire 5y agoThe sheer scale seems really similar to the vertical integration of companies like Standard Oil. That alone doesn't necessarily mean that they're problematic, but it sure does suggest that we give them a closer look. If their scale allows them to be anti-consumer/anti-trade then that's bad.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoAre they being anti-consumer/anti-trade tho? If their scale allows it then you may wish to look closer, but their scale also allows them to offer unprecedented value to customers, which is generally the highest value for commerce in the first place. Let's not destroy a good thing just because we can imagine it having some consequences.
- ChrisLomont 5y agoNeither part has anywhere near monopoly power in respective markets: AWS ~32% of cloud, Amazon has ~37% of ecommerce. There's an incredible amount of other options for everything Amazon does.
- wyldfire 5y agoVertical integration is not a matter of market share -- that's horizontal integration.
- mandeepj 5y agoYour numbers are too low. The actual revenue for Amazon is $100B+. How come you are reporting net revenue so low?
- gz5 5y agoi should have used "net income" rather than "net revenue".
- statguy 5y agoThat is net income (or profit) not revenue.
