Amazon&#8217;s overall <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"60\">net sales<\/b> reached <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"78\">181.5 billion dollars<\/b>, with an <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"109\">increase of 17%<\/b> compared to the same quarter of 2025 (when it stood at 155.7 billion). Excluding the favorable effect of currency exchange rates, equal to about 2.9 billion, organic growth still stands at 15%.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Operating income<\/b> rose to <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"25\">23.9 billion dollars<\/b>, compared to 18.4 billion in Q1 2025. <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"84\">Net income<\/b> nearly doubled to <b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"113\">30.3 billion<\/b> (from 17.1 billion), or 2.78 dollars per share. It should be noted that this figure includes pre-tax gains of 16.8 billion resulting from investments in Anthropic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; Read also our article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonwizard.com\/blog\/amazon-quarterly-earnings-prime-day-and-more-the-2026-calendar-for-sellers-and-vendors\/\">Amazon Quarterlies, Prime Day and more: the 2026 calendar for sellers and vendors<\/a>\u00a0 &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">The performance of the Stores segment is THE news of the quarter<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">For sellers, the most relevant data is what Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, highlighted in his commentary on the results. Specifically, the growth of <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"145\">units sold reached 15%<\/b>, the highest level since the end of the Covid lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">This figure is full of significant meanings. It highlights that <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"64\">consumers are buying more<\/b> on Amazon. Furthermore, that traffic on the platform is expanding strongly. Therefore, we find ourselves in an <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"201\">ideal condition<\/b> to intercept new demand without necessarily having to take market share from direct competitors.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">At a territorial level, the North America segment recorded sales of 104.1 billion dollars (+12% year over year) with an operating profit of 8.3 billion (it was 5.8 billion a year ago). The <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"189\">International segment<\/b> reached 39.8 billion (+19%, or +11% excluding exchange rates), with an operating profit of 1.4 billion compared to 1.0 billion in Q1 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; Read also our article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonwizard.com\/blog\/why-should-an-amazon-seller-invest-in-google-ads\/\">Why should an Amazon Seller invest in Google Ads<\/a>? &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"14\">Logistics becomes even faster<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Amazon announced that in 2026 it has already exceeded <b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"54\">1 billion deliveries<\/b> made on the same day or the next day. This confirms the company&#8217;s commitment to its <b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"159\">logistics infrastructure<\/b>, which has been profoundly transformed in recent years.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">Regarding delivery speed, the concrete news for sellers (especially in the USA, but the effects will also reach us) is significant:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"17\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Amazon Now<\/b> (delivery in 30 minutes or less) is now available in 9 countries, with recent expansion in parts of Tokyo and 8 Brazilian cities.

After all, <b data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"93\">massive investments<\/b> in the logistics network that will also affect the Old Continent are confirmed. These will translate directly into a <b data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"230\">competitive advantage<\/b> over alternative sales channels.
