Amazon reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, exceeding analyst expectations in several key areas. Net sales reached $155.67 billion, an 8.6% year-over-year increase. Operating income was $18.41 billion, with an operating margin of 11.8%.
Despite the strong Q1 performance, Amazon's Q2 guidance fell short of expectations, leading to a stock price drop. The company projected operating income between $13.0 billion and $17.5 billion, and net sales between $159.0 billion and $164.0 billion.
The lower-than-expected Q2 guidance overshadowed the positive Q1 results and caused market concerns.
