Discuss Amazon's future prospects. Do you think Amazon will ever be consistently profitable?
What will be an ideal response?
In 2016, Amazon finally began to show investors and analysts sustainable profitability. Following up on its $596 million profit for 2015, the company reported a landmark $879 million profit in the second quarter of 2016, up from just a $92 million profit over the same period in 2015. The profitability of its AWS unit is also a major positive for Amazon, with that segment showing continued rapid growth. Amazon Prime is also a key component of the company's strong performance. While the company continues to spend heavily on future products and services, Amazon at last appears to have turned the corner to profitability.
