Amazon is known as the e-commerce giant worldwide. The firm is renowned for its impeccable market strategies, from offering profits from A to Z when it comes to offering broad-spectrum products. However, there’s more to Amazon than meets the eye.

Amazon Web Services, or AWS, is an Amazon discreet yet compelling service element that has been slowly transforming the way AMZN could perform in coming years. Per Motley Fool’s analysis on Amazon, the operating returns on AWS services have been higher than its seasoned e-commerce business, signaling a major perspective shift. This typically means that Amazon Web Services is delivering more profits to the firm than its e-commerce domain, as the firm continues to lend out cloud infrastructure to the AI domain, helping them accommodate the rising AI demand and needs.

This development is making Amazon an early competitor in the rising AI segment, helping the stock chart its independent yet prosperous price trajectory.
