Amazon.com reported cloud-computing revenue that accelerated for the fifth straight quarter, easing investors’ concerns that the company won’t produce a return on its spending to meet booming demand for artificial intelligence.Revenue jumped 37% to $42.2 billion at Amazon Web Services, which generates about a fifth of the company’s revenue and most of its operating profit, Amazon said Thursday in a statement. It was the fastest pace of growth since the fourth quarter of 2021. Analysts, on average, forecast sales of $40.6 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Like its Big Tech peers, Amazon is spending heavily on data centers and chips in an effort to take advantage of rising demand for AI and cloud-computing services. The company reported spending more than $53 billion on property and equipment, including proceeds from some sales, in the period ended June 30.

Meanwhile, Apple Inc. sales grew more slowly than analysts anticipated in China and its services business last quarter, sparking concerns about two key markets for the iPhone maker.Though total revenue topped estimates, the China sales amounted to $18.8 billion in the fiscal third quarter, well short of the $19.6 billion estimated by analysts. Revenue from services was $30.7 billion, compared with a $31.4 billion projection.

Mehmet Oz has been loyal to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while cultivating a close relationship with President Donald Trump and a reputation as a serious operator in the administration. Oz has been playing a significant role in the administration, with access to the president and involvement in various policy discussions, leading to speculation that he could be the heir apparent to lead the health department if Kennedy departs. Despite potential challenges and criticisms, Oz has earned respect from some outside the administration, including major healthcare companies and industry groups, and has been working to implement the administration's health policies and reduce healthcare costs.

For more on their partnership, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec spoke with Rachel Cohrs Zhang, Bloomberg News Health Policy Reporter

Meta Platforms gave a disappointing current-quarter revenue forecast, intensifying investor concerns about the company’s unprecedented spending on artificial intelligence.
The social media giant said third-quarter revenue will be $61 billion to $64 billion, with the midline of that range below the average analyst estimate of $63.2 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Meta relies on its advertising business to finance its expensive bets on AI products and infrastructure, including data centers and AI-powered glasses.

Investors have questioned how Meta will ultimately recoup its AI investments, and balked earlier this year when Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg increased projected spending to as much as $145 billion. Meta on Wednesday narrowed its full-year capital expenditure forecast to $130 billion to $145 billion, slightly lifting the bottom end from a previous projection of $125 billion to $145 billion.
