Amazon (AMZN.US) shares are trading 0.34% higher in the pre-market trading ahead of the quarterly earnings report after today's market close. Investors are turning their attention to Amazon's cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), after competitors reported slightly slower growth. Though AWS has experienced a slowdown, Amazon's other divisions are expected to become catalysts for growth in 2023, particularly as efficiencies take effect and inflation decreases. Amazon's revenue is expected to increase by 9%, marking a single-digit rise for seven out of the last eight quarters. Advertising sales might be higher, in line with the digital advertising industry's robust performance.
