Amazon entered this week making headlines by laying off tens of thousands of employees, which could have easily overshadowed another significant announcement: its latest earnings results. As Q3 2025 came to a close, many might have expected financial struggles given the reduction of around 30,000 workers. However, those assumptions would be incorrect.
Amazon released its Q3 2025 earnings report on its investor relations website this week, showcasing strong performance in both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company reported revenue of $180.2 billion, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations of $177.96 billion.
On the earnings front, analysts had projected an EPS of $1.58 per share, while Earnings Whisper anticipated $1.74 per share. Amazon pleasantly surprised investors by delivering an EPS of $1.95 per share, significantly beating estimates.
The tech giant has remained busy, fueled by investments in Twitch, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and artificial intelligence. Additionally, Amazon has engaged with the Trump administration on some controversial government projects. Despite these developments, the most notable news earlier this week was the company’s layoffs, which impacted over 30,000 employees primarily in Amazon Games and other business sectors.
Overall, Amazon’s Q3 2025 results highlight its continued financial strength even amid workforce reductions and ongoing strategic shifts.
