Amazon topped first-quarter expectations but issued cautious guidance due to uncertainty over Trump’s broad tariffs, according to CNBC. The company beat expectations with $1.59 per share and revenue of $155.67 billion. Amazon Web Services revenue missed estimates at $29.3 billion, while advertising revenue surpassed expectations at $13.92 billion. Tariffs are a key concern for investors this quarter as Amazon faces major exposure to Trump’s 145% levy, particularly through its retail unit that sources goods from China. Many third-party sellers, responsible for over half of Amazon’s sales, have begun raising prices and reducing ad spending in response to rising import costs.
