Whole Foods is making much less money since Amazon bought it and slashed prices across the board, but the online shopping giant doesn't really care. 。

Thursday's report marks Amazon's 10th straight profitable quarter and its biggest sales to date, a fact that went mostly unmentioned in its presentation.。
Amazon's money-minting cloud business continues to cushion profits, despite slowing growth. Its expansion efforts overseas are paying off in the form of big retail growth. Its advertising operation, a relative afterthought in the context of its entire balance sheet, grew sales by an estimated 58 percent to around five times Snapchat's entire revenue.。
Despite constant doubts from high-profile investors about the longevity of Amazon's reign, the company remains pretty much unstoppable.。
