$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ 's reported revenue/profit of $155.7bn/$18.4bn beat expectations, thanks to international performance. Unit growth slowed a bit to 8% year-over-year. AWS growth matched forecasts at 17%.

Overall, results and the Q2 outlook (slight revenue acceleration) were better than expected, with positive comments on product mix and third-party sellers.

Tariffs Not Yet a Problem, Prepared if They Become One

Management sees limited tariff impact in Q2 profit, citing pre-bought inventory and stable third-party seller prices. April sales were strong. Low-priced essentials are growing fast in the US. Amazon believes its wide selection and strategic buying should help it outperform if retail conditions worsen due to tariffs.

Estimates Going Up on Good Outlook

The Q2 revenue forecast is around $160bn due to stronger retail, while slightly lowering AWS growth. Q2 profit forecast consensus are around to $16.5bn on better AWS margins. The third quarter could see peak tariff uncertainty.

Anyway Amazon looks strong with an annual revenue growing constantly and a huge operating income. Capital expenditures are jumping bigly, which is something to watch.

$240 is a reasonable annual target.
