亞馬遜Q3業績超預期!預計AI將帶來“數百億”的潛在收入,盤後大升近5%
格隆匯 10-27 09:40

美股盤後,亞馬遜發佈三季度財報,業績超預期,收入同比上升13%,公司股價盤後大升近5%。

業務加速發展

具體來看,亞馬遜三季度收入1430.83億美元,同比增長13%,環比增6.5%,分析師預期為1414億美元;

淨利潤為98.79億美元,同比增長244%,包含亞馬遜投資電動汽車公司Rivian獲得的12億美元税前估值收益;

營業利潤率為7.8%,為2021年初以來的最高水平,分析師預期為5.46%

每股收益為94美分,分析師預期為58美分,去年同期28美分。

這意味着,在經歷了因通脹飆升和利率上升而受損的艱難2022年後,亞馬遜的業務正在加速發展。

分地區來看,北美分部收入同比增長11%,達到879億美元;國際分部銷售額同比增長16%,達到321億美元。

過去一年,亞馬遜由於疫情期間擴張過快一直在削減成本,自去年秋天以來,亞馬遜已經解僱了2.7萬名員工,並削減了一些更無利可圖的嘗試。

亞馬遜CEO Andy Jassy表示,這些努力將繼續取得成果。對於三季度業績,Jassy表示,亞馬遜三季度表現強勁,因為的服務成本和門店業務的交付速度又向前邁進了一步,核心業務AWS雲服務增長繼續穩定,廣吿收入強勁增長,整體營業收入和自由現金流大幅增長。

對AI野心滿滿

分業務來看,核心電商業務的銷售額繼續復甦,在上一季度增長4%後,同比增長7%。三季度包括今年7月黃金日促銷活動的結果,亞馬遜稱這是其“有史以來最大的”銷售活動。

數字廣吿仍然是亞馬遜的亮點,由於第三方賣家和大品牌增加了廣吿支出,亞馬遜三季度的廣吿收入同比飆升26%,超過了谷歌廣吿業務9%、Facebook廣吿業務23%的增長。

雲計算業務,亞馬遜似乎表現並不如同行出色,收入同比增長12%,而微軟的Azure收入增長29%,谷歌雲增長22%。

三季度,亞馬遜宣佈與人工智能初創公司Anthropic建立合作關係。根據該協議,Anthropic將使用AWS技術,並向雲客户提供其工具。

Jassy表示,儘管雲計算業務三季度的收入略低於預期,但業務正在穩定。

在電話財報會議上,他透露,亞馬遜與客户簽署了幾項新協議,並於本月生效,對生成人工智能的需求可能會在未來很長一段時間內推動雲計算業務的發展。

對於AI技術的角逐,亞馬遜還是野心滿滿。Jassy表示,亞馬遜的目標式成為生成式AI的主要參與者。

他展望,生成式AI技術將在未來幾年為雲計算業務帶來了“數百億”的潛在收入。目前尚不清楚會在多大程度上推動了該業務的收入,但增長“非常、非常快”。

展望四季度,亞馬遜預計,收入將在1600億至1670億美元之間,同比增長7%-12%,而分析師預計的收入為1666億美元。
