Key moments

Read the management remarks selected from the transcript.

“We now believe we will spend approximately $220 billion in cash CapEx in 2026, the higher cost of memory pushing this number up from our prior estimate of about $200 billion. But even at that amount, we will still not have enough capacity to meet all the demand we have in 2026.” Andy Jassy, CEO
“We've long believed AWS could become a few hundred billion dollar revenue business, and now believe it'll be at least double that, and very possibly be a trillion dollar annual revenue business for us in time, with very appealing accompanying free cash flow and return on invested capital.” Andy Jassy, CEO
