Amazon reported a 245% increase in net income for the June quarter, reaching $62.6 billion. This growth was largely driven by a $50.5 billion upward adjustment related to equity investments in Anthropic, which accounted for 62.4% of the company’s pre-tax income. Excluding this markup, Amazon’s pre-tax income was approximately $30.4 billion, a 46% increase from the previous year, while total net sales rose 19.6% to $200.6 billion.
