Amazon’s Optimistic Outlook for 2024

Despite past and present economic challenges, the eCommerce giant anticipates a robust recovery, underlining its strengthened profit generation capabilities. Among the factors contributing to this positive forecast is Artificial Intelligence (AI).

With the potential to generate tens of billions in revenue, AI is emerging as a key player in Amazon’s future growth. Not surprisingly, all tech giants are getting ready to invest billions of dollars in AI in anticipation of future returns. Annie and Rohit explore the ways in which Amazon plans to leverage AI, not only for operational efficiencies but also for creating new revenue streams.

Advertising Revenue Growth

Surpassing even Amazon Web Services (AWS) in terms of operating profit contribution, advertising revenue has become a key driver of Amazon’s profitability. This was one of the standout takeaways from the call. Annie and Rohit analyze how Amazon continues to capitalize on advertising, showcasing the company’s adaptability and business acumen. They explore some of the nuances of Amazon’s advertising strategy and its impact on the overall business. 

“Advertising, not just AWS, is now a major profit source with AI and International expansion expected to drive profits in the future.”
