Amazon shares jumped more than 10% in extended trading Thursday after the company posted third-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations, along with strong growth in its cloud-computing unit.

Here's how the company did, compared with estimates from analysts polled by LSEG:

  • Earnings per share: $1.95 vs. $1.57 estimated
  • Revenue: $180.17 billion vs. $177.8 billion estimated

Wall Street is also looking at other key revenue numbers:

  • Amazon Web Services: $33 billion vs. $32.42 billion expected, according to StreetAccount
  • Advertising: $17.7 billion vs. $17.34 billion expected, according to StreetAccount

Revenue in Amazon's cloud unit accelerated 20.2% during the quarter, blowing past analysts' expectations of 18.1%. Cloud growth has been a key area of concern for the company, as it faces intensifying pressure from rivals Google and Microsoft, who have posted higher growth rates than Amazon.
