  • AWS: Q3 2025 revenue $33B, +20.2% YoY, margins ~34–35% (down from ~38–39%) as AI capex trades peak profitability for renewed growth.

  • Retail/logistics: Regional network redesign cut cost-to-serve by about $0.50 per unit and enabled 9B+ 2024 same/next-day U.S. Prime deliveries; 2025 peak surcharges add only tactical pressure.
