North America
Basis quarter$116.21B
Final quarter$192.71B
Implied CAGR+11%
Final revenue mix52%
Online and physical stores, third-party seller services, subscriptions and the North American half of advertising. $116.2B in 2026 Q2, up 16%, with operating income up 21% to $9.1B - revenue growing fast for a business this size and profit growing faster, which is the mix shift toward advertising and seller services showing up in the margin line rather than in the growth line.

Assumptions & reasoning
- Carried as a growth rate rather than as customers x spend because Amazon publishes neither: the Prime member count has not been updated since the 200 million figure of 2021, and it is a global number that cannot be assigned to a segment. A customers-times-spend model here would be two invented inputs multiplied together to reproduce a number Amazon already discloses.
- 3.6% a quarter is roughly the 16% year-over-year this segment just posted, and it decays to 1.75% - about 7% a year - by the end of the window. Holding mid-teens growth on a $450B-a-year revenue base for five years is the single easiest way to make this model say anything you like, so it is not held.
- Quarterly revenue is seasonally shaped from Amazon's reported 2025 segment sales after removing the disclosed 10% annual growth trend. The factors average to one, so they move revenue between quarters without changing the underlying annual run rate: Q4 carries the holiday peak and Q1 resets below it.
- The EBITDA margin of 12% is the disclosed 7.8% operating margin plus an assumed share of fulfilment and transportation depreciation. It glides to 15% because advertising and third-party seller fees grow faster than the retail revenue they attach to, which is the same mix shift that took operating income up 21% on 16% revenue growth.
- Capex intensity of 7% covers fulfilment centres, the transportation network and the robotics programme. It is a small share of the roughly $200B Amazon has guided for 2026 - almost all of that is AWS, and it is charged there.
