FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] Amazon Surpasses Q1 Expectations Amazon reported significant growth in its Q1 earnings, with profits more than tripling to $10.4 billion and revenue hitting $143.3 billion, exceeding Wall Street forecasts. This growth was fueled by a 24% increase in advertising revenue and a strong performance from Amazon Web Services. Despite extensive cost-cutting measures and layoffs affecting over 27,000 employees, the company projects continued profitability with expected revenue between $144 billion to $149 billion for Q2. Meanwhile, Amazon has yet to initiate a dividend, contrasting with recent moves by other tech giants like Meta and Alphabet.
