Amazon's release says the quarter's net income includes non-operating pre-tax other income of $53.4 billion, primarily from its investments in Anthropic. The 10-Q says the $53.4 billion net gain in other income is primarily from upward adjustments for observable changes in the price of its nonvoting preferred stock in Anthropic and from the reclassification of gains on the part of its Anthropic convertible notes that converted to nonvoting preferred stock in the first quarter of 2026. For the six months to Jun 30, 2026, the 10-Q puts the income tax provision at $27.8 billion, including $15.9 billion of net discrete tax expense mainly from upward adjustments to its Anthropic investments. Amazon also says it invested $10.0 billion in Anthropic nonvoting preferred stock in the second quarter, and $28.7 billion in OpenAI's Series C Preferred Stock in the six months, $13.7 billion of it in the second quarter.14^,15^,16^,17^,18^,19

Amazon reports in three segments: North America, International and AWS (Amazon Web Services). North America net sales were $116.18 billion, up 16.1% from $100.07 billion, and International net sales were $42.2 billion, up 14.8% from $36.76 billion. AWS net sales were $42.23 billion, up 36.8% from $30.87 billion, which Amazon says mainly reflects increased customer usage, partly offset by pricing changes driven by long-term customer contracts. AWS segment operating income was $16.6 billion, against $10.2 billion a year earlier, which Amazon puts down primarily to increased sales, partly offset by spending on technology infrastructure. Amazon's chief executive says advertising grew 26% year over year in the quarter.20^,21^,22^,23^,24^,25^,26^,27^,28^,29^,30^,31^,32^,33

For games, Amazon Games, a publisher under Amazon, publishes Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog develop. On Jul 30, Amazon guided to net sales of $197.0 billion to $202.0 billion for the third quarter of 2026, growth of 9% to 12% on the third quarter of 2025.34^,35^,36^,37^,38^,39^,40

Our records keep one value for each period of an SEC filer, the latest filed, so they cannot tell whether the year-earlier figures were restated. In the 10-Q text we hold, the management discussion has no word on games, so this article gives no games revenue.41^,42
