Cloud service revenue increased by 20 percent compared to the same quarter last year.

Analysts had predicted an 18 percent increase.

The pace of Amazon's growth in the cloud services area, where the company supplies computing power to large parts of the internet, has recently lagged slightly compared to the other giants in the area: Microsoft and Google.

Regarding the company's overall turnover, the average forecast was $177.8 billion, equivalent to SEK 1,668 billion.

The result was $180 billion.

Earnings were reported at $1.95 per share, well above market expectations.
