Provided by Dow Jones By Sebastian Herrera Amazon.com Inc. reported record results for the first quarter of the year, as demand remained robust for the company's e-commerce services and revenue continued to grow in its cloud-computing and advertising businesses. Seattle-based Amazon said first-quarter sales hit $108 billion, a 44% increase from the same period a year earlier, and profits more than tripled to $8.1 billion. Revenue far exceeded the $105 billion predicted on average by analysts polled by FactSet. Amazon said it expects sales from April to June to reach between $110 billion and $116 billion, which would mark three consecutive quarters with more than $100 billion in revenue.
