Amazon reports Q3 AWS sales of USD 46.0B and trailing-year free cash outflow of USD 42.4B

Amazon's 29 October 2026 earnings release for Q3 ended September 30 reports AWS quarterly sales of USD 46.0B (about 39 percent year-over-year growth), trailing 12-month operating cash flow of USD 168.3B and trailing 12-month free cash flow outflow of USD 42.4B. The FCF decline principally reflects large capital investments, including AI infrastructure. It is not proof of corporate insolvency or a global AI debt crisis.
