$Amazon(AMZN.US)$ Rising wages, labor shortages, supply chain bottlenecks leading to extra costs were the name of the game in Q3. This seems like it's a theme that will continue into, and probably beyond, the all-important Q4 holiday season for e-commerce. It will be difficult to pass costs on to consumers during this highly competitive quarter.
On a whole, the numbers were not awful, but they also were not impressive. Total revenue for the quarter was $110.8B, up 15% from Q3 2020 which came in at $96.1B. Costs were up significantly, however, and operating income for the quarter dropped to $4.9B from $6.2B a year ago. Cash from operations was also down from $12B in Q3 2020 to $7.3B in Q3 2021. Inventory, shipping, and labor costs are likely culprits. Diluted earnings per share were chopped in half to $6.12 from $12.37 a year ago.
Taken separately, the ecommerce figures were very discouraging. Product sales were up a mere 4% from Q3 2020. Yes, there is a COVID-19 effect to factor in, however, this is anemic any way one slices it. On a whole, the ecommerce segments of North America and International were net unprofitable for the quarter, losing $31M in operating income. The retail business has never been hugely profitable, however, investors have been hoping that scaling would lead to better profitability. Instead, AWS is the saving grace.
There is a great disparity between the revenue and income produced by AWS as compared to the bulky e-commerce segments.
As shown above, despite taking in only 13% of revenues, AWS was responsible for more than 50% of operating profits for the first two quarters of 2021. AWS as a segment has tremendous margins. This trend has been exacerbated in Q3.
Below I have updated the figures for Q3 2021 and the nine months then ended.
As we can see, the Q3 numbers are skewed as the e-commerce business posted an operating loss. However, this is no less telling. For the first three quarters of 2021, this trend has accelerated from over 50% to now well over 60% of operating profits being provided by AWS. With its impressive growth, the total revenue provided by AWS is also up from 13% to 15%.
It truly is a tale of two companies. However, it should be three.

$Twitter (Delisted)(TWTR.US)$ stock, higher in premarket after yesterday evening's Q3 earnings, turned sharply lower this morning as analyst reaction noted the U.S. market for the company may be losing steam.
Overall user growth was in line with expectations, reaching 211 million average monetizable daily active users, reflecting 13% growth. But international growth made up for a letdown at home: U.S. average mDAUs were 37 million vs. consensus expectations for 37.7 million.
The company showed resilience against Apple iOS privacy changes and supply-chain constraints, Mizuho says. There was strength returning from the Tokyo Olympics and a normalized live events schedule; ad engagements rose 6% and cost per engagement rose 33% amid increased demand in direct-response advertising.
But the U.S. growth was "lagging," James Lee and team say, and "We continue to believe user growth to be a key debate going forward. New products should be an important driver in user acquisitions and retention."
And despite the limited iOS impact, "we believe as (direct response) becomes a bigger part of ad revenues, TWTR would need to develop workaround solutions due to the variability of iOS reporting." It's Neutral on the stock.
Revenue growth of 37% was impressive, but the flatness in U.S. users may raise concerns about U.S. market saturation, Jefferies agrees. It also has a Hold rating.
Morgan Stanley is in tune: “Solid quarter, same debate,” it says, noting the key will be whether Twitter can build out a scaled ad business in the next few years. It's Equal Weight on the stock.
A more positive J.P. Morgan (Overweight) says Twitter should be relatively insulated from the supply-chain issues plaguing the broader market, with more than half its ad revenue coming from services and digital goods.
On the company's earnings call last night, it took on the question of the day (Apple's iOS changes had a "modest" impact on ads, CFO Ned Segal said) and highlighted the importance of the Olympics and other big events to its rebound.
