Amazon reported strong Q4 earnings with revenue of $187.8 billion and profits of $20 billion, surpassing estimates during the holiday shopping season. Despite these gains, the company set a disappointing revenue outlook for Q1, forecasting between $151 billion and $155.5 billion against the expected $158.5 billion, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange impacts estimated at $2.1 billion. AWS saw a 19% growth, slightly below expectations, hindered by capacity constraints. Amazon plans to invest $100 billion in capital expenditures in 2025, focusing heavily on AI and cloud infrastructure, with CEO Andy Jassy expressing confidence in long-term growth opportunities.
