Amazon’s Businesses Could Fuel $1 Trillion Revenue Milestone
On Sunday, Futurum Equities Chief Market Strategist Shay Boloor shared his bullish outlook for Amazon on X, saying the e-commerce and cloud giant is “on track to become the first company to cross $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2028.”
Boloor argued the projection is supported by Jeff Bezos’ company’s increasingly diversified business model.
“What makes that possible is that Amazon has become one of the most important infrastructure companies in the world compounding across commerce, cloud, logistics, ads and AI all at once,” he wrote.
The comments underscore growing optimism that Amazon’s expanding artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, Amazon Web Services cloud business, advertising segment and logistics network could continue driving rapid revenue growth over the next several years.

The company also posted earnings of $2.78 per share, well above the consensus forecast of $1.66 per share.
