Amazon Predicted to Reach $5 Trillion Valuation by 2030 Amid AI and Cloud Dominance

Amazon's trajectory toward a $5 trillion market capitalization by 2030 is gaining attention, fueled by its cloud computing supremacy, high-margin advertising, and logistics efficiency. The company's second-quarter revenue surged 12% year-over-year to $167.7 billion, with operating income jumping 31% to $19.2 billion. AWS, its cloud division, grew 17.5% to $30.9 billion, while advertising revenue climbed 22% to $15.7 billion.

Free cash FLOW over the past four quarters reached $18.2 billion, underscoring financial resilience. Amazon's 30% share of the global cloud infrastructure market positions it as a linchpin in the AI-driven tech expansion. Third-quarter revenue guidance of $174 billion to $179.5 billion reflects steady momentum, with forex fluctuations providing a modest tailwind.
