AN OPERATING QUESTION / NOT A FORECAST

What does the reported growth actually measure?

Amazon reported Q3 2026 net sales of $201.9 billion, up 12% year over year. That companywide total includes AWS, advertising and subscriptions as well as retail. It does not establish 12% growth in parcel shipments or a change in any seller’s shipping rate.
