When is Amazon's next earnings report?

What time is Amazon earnings in my time zone?

The October 29 report falls before US daylight saving time ends on November 1, so New York is on EDT (UTC−4) and Beijing is 12 hours ahead. The UK has already moved to GMT.

New York (EDT): results after 4:00 p.m. on Thu Oct 29; call at 5:00 p.m.
London (GMT): results after 8:00 p.m. on Thu Oct 29; call at 9:00 p.m.
Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore (UTC+8): results after 4:00 a.m. on Fri Oct 30; call at 5:00 a.m.
Tokyo, Seoul (UTC+9): results after 5:00 a.m. on Fri Oct 30; call at 6:00 a.m.

Amazon's early-February report (Q4) falls on US standard time, when Beijing is 13 hours ahead of New York.

What is Amazon expected to report for Q3 2026?

Amazon guided Q3 2026 net sales to $197 billion to $202 billion, growth of 9% to 12%, and operating income to $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion, against $17.4 billion a year earlier (Amazon Q2 2026 release). Prime Day fell in Q2 this year but in Q3 last year; excluding it, Amazon says growth would be nearly 4 percentage points higher. The Zacks consensus reported by Yahoo Finance is $202.11 billion of revenue and EPS of $2.01, at the top of Amazon's own range; a consensus from a named provider such as LSEG will be added before the report.

Three lines tend to decide how an Amazon report is read:

AWS growth: 36.8% in Q2 2026, the fastest in years; analysts quoted ahead of the report look for 30% to 35%
Operating income guidance for Q4: Amazon's biggest post-earnings drops have followed guidance well below estimates
Capital spending: the pace of AI data-center investment and its effect on free cash flow

For the investment case behind these numbers, see our Amazon (AMZN) stock price prediction.

What did Amazon report last quarter?

On July 30, 2026, Amazon reported Q2 2026 (April–June 2026) net sales of $200.61 billion, its first quarter above $200 billion outside the holiday season, against a $196.47 billion consensus. EPS was $5.75 against $1.82 expected, lifted by $53.4 billion of pre-tax gains mainly from its Anthropic investment.

AWS revenue: $42.23 billion, up 37%
Q3 guidance: net sales $197–202 billion; operating income $22.5–26.5 billion

AMZN closed at $271.58 the next day, up 15.32%, its largest post-earnings gain of the last 12 reports.

How did AMZN trade on MEXC after the last report?

MEXC's Amazon perpetual futures contract, AMZNSTOCK_USDT (displayed as AMZN_USDT, 1 contract = 0.01 AMZN), trades 24/7. After the Q2 2026 release it moved most of the way within the first hour.

4:00 p.m. ET, Jul 30 (US close): 235.89 USDT
5:00 p.m. ET, Jul 30 (5:00 a.m. Beijing): 254.69 USDT, up 7.97%
3:00 a.m. ET, Jul 31 (3:00 p.m. Beijing): 259.89 USDT, up 10.17%
9:00 a.m. ET, Jul 31 (30 minutes before the US open): 261.60 USDT, up 10.90%
10:00 a.m. ET, Jul 31 (30 minutes after the open): 269.50 USDT, up 14.25%

By Beijing afternoon the contract had covered about two-thirds of the stock's 15.32% gain, and it kept rising after the US open. 24/7 trading lets you place orders outside US market hours, but it does not mean prices are discovered around the clock: liquidity is thinner overnight, and the contract can still gap when the cash market opens.
