Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) reported $62.6 billion of second-quarter net income, but that figure is a poor starting point for valuing its cloud business. The quarter included $53.4 billion of pretax nonoperating gains, primarily related to its Anthropic investment. Subtracting that pretax amount directly from after-tax net income would also be wrong.
