Amazon's first quarter results beat analyst estimates on both the top and bottom lines. The tech giant's results were powered by better-than-expected performance from its cloud-computing and advertising businesses.
In a call with analysts, Amazon (AMZN) leadership expressed their concerns about an economic slowdown. However, there were some optimistic notes, with CEO Andy Jassy saying of AWS "few folks appreciate how much new cloud business will happen over the next several years."
Yahoo Finance's Brad Smith, Rachelle Akuffo, and Allie Garfinkle were listening to the call. They noted how cautious Amazon executives were, the big focus on cost cutting, and the opportunities the company has with AI.
