Amazon (AMZN) will release its first-quarter financial results on Wednesday, April 29. AMZN stock has regained momentum ahead of earnings, rising 24% in a month. The rally in AMZN is supported by the company’s growing share in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market, cloud computing, and digital advertising.
AMZN stock got a boost after it announced that its in-house chip business is expanding rapidly. The company’s custom chips, including its Graviton processors, Trainium AI accelerators, and Nitro networking components, have collectively surpassed a $20 billion annual revenue run rate.
The tech giant’s custom chips reflect its strategic shift toward vertical integration within its cloud ecosystem. By designing its own silicon, the company is reducing reliance on third-party suppliers and improving cost efficiency. The move signals a structural advantage that could enhance margins in Amazon Web Services (AWS), its cloud business.
