Amazon share price

Amazon has been trading sideways to lower for nearly two years. Is AMZN stock worth investing in now before the 20-for-1 stock split?

The expected stock split date for Amazon shares is early June. The company's shares have rocketed over 4,000% since its last stock split announcement. In the video below, I break down Amazon earnings highlights. On March 9, Amazon announced a 20-for-1 stock split, the company's first split since 1999 and its fourth since its IPO in 1997.

Amazon stock plunged as the e-commerce giant reported a first-quarter loss after the market close Thursday, with guidance well below views.

The company's Amazon Web Services reported revenue of $18.44 billion, above estimates of $18.27 billion. The company also put in place a $10 billion Amazon stock buyback plan. Amazon now expects an operating loss of $1 billion to $3 billion, compared with a $7.7 billion loss in the year-ago quarter. Analysts were expecting Amazon to report earnings of $8.35 a share on revenue of $116.5 billion, according to FactSet, but that apparently didn't include the Rivian loss. Amazon ( AMZN) blamed the pandemic, inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine for its weak outlook, among other things. The first-quarter results came late Thursday. For its second quarter ending in June, Amazon expects revenue in the range of $116 billion to $121 billion.

Amazon reported slowing growth and a net loss in its quarterly earnings · The company is a cyclical business that I expect to do better in favourable economic ...

I still expect Amazon to perform well over time, so I don’t see the falling share price as a cause for concern. Overall, the decline in revenue growth is in line with my general outlook for Amazon as a business. As a cyclical business, I expect Amazon to do better when macroeconomic conditions are good and worse when they are difficult. Amazon reported revenue growth of around 7%. For a business that has consistently increased its revenues at over 20%, that seems disappointing. If the company is performing in line with my expectations, then I probably have nothing to worry about. Since it owns a large quantity of Rivian shares, Amazon reported the decline as a $7.6bn loss on its income statement.

Amazon has reported first quarter (Q1) 2022 results which have fallen short of market expectations. A summary of the financial results are as follows:.

Traders who are short might consider using a close above $2720 as a stop loss indication for the trade. The prior year’s Covid-19 pandemic supported earnings in Q1 2022 providing a high base of comparison, but the extent of lost earnings in the Q1 2022 have underperformed even the softest forecasts. Amazon has and is continuing to face pressure on its business through inflation (stemming from labour and logistic / fuels costs) as well as the Ukraine / Russia war and supply chain bottlenecks. The Rivian investment is likely to weigh further as the share price is currently down another 40% odd since 1 of April. All shares prices are delayed by at least 15 mins.

AMZN stock is falling today after the e-commerce giant disappointed investors with its results and outlook for the second quarter.

The company reported that Amazon Web Services earned $18.44 billion versus the $18.27 billion estimate. On the date of publication, Joel Baglole did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article. That was the slowest rate of revenue growth at Amazon since the dot-com bubble burst back in 2001. The company said that it has been struggling with multiple challenges this year, including rising inflation, higher fuel and labor costs, global supply chain constraints, the ongoing pandemic, and war in Ukraine. Looking ahead, Amazon provided weaker-than-expected guidance for the current second quarter, forecasting growth of between 3% and 7% from a year ago. The Rivian loss aside, revenue at Amazon increased just 7% during the first quarter, compared with 44% growth in the first quarter of 2021.

The company saw an extra $6 billion in unexpected costs over the quarter, Olsavsky said Thursday, building on a trend that saw $4 billion in costs added at the end of last year as well. "We don't see any macroeconomic factors generally in this forecast on the demand side," he said. It expects net sales to grow between 3 and 7% year over year to somewhere between $116 billion and $121 billion. ... Now, the job's on us to slow down our build and catch up to the capacity we have." "It could go one of two ways," he said, with customers turning more toward online sales in an effort to save money or turning away from purchases altogether. Taking out the impact from changes in the foreign exchange rates, Amazon says sales are up 9%. Part of what's happening today is seasonal, Olsavsky said. "We feel good about everything the customer sees," he said. But Amazon plans for new warehouse space months or years in advance, Olsavsky said Thursday, and it was already looking to slow its pandemic rate of expansion. Internal costs, like lack of productivity due to employees calling out sick amid another wave of COVID-19, added about $2 billion. This year, it reported a net loss of $3.8 billion, or $7.56 per diluted share. "Today, as we're no longer chasing physical or staffing capacity, our teams are squarely focused on improving productivity and cost efficiencies throughout our fulfillment network," he said.

Post also touted a "large profit pool" from Amazon Web Services and reiterated a buy rating for the stock. "Fears of slowing growth, higher interest rates, uncertainty about supply chains and geopolitical events have weighed on the broader market, but tech has carried the brunt of the pain," Ally Invest strategist Lindsey Bell wrote in a Friday note, adding: "It's been an ugly month for the technology sector." Shares of Tesla plummeted 12% Tuesday, pushing the firm's market capitalization down by more than $125 billion.

“In view of the current geopolitical situation, the reliable energy supply for households and companies must be reprioritised in the short term. The mammoth share sales came after Musk struck a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion at the start of the week. There’s some fire-fighting to be done: where once Netflix’s founder and chief executive Reed Hastings said “we love people sharing Netflix”, the latest wobbly figures have triggered a change of approach. Ads are on their way too, but will take at least a year to roll out. Filings published last night showed Musk had sold a chunk of the company worth around $4.5 billion. Sales of the vaccine increased fourfold in the first quarter of the year to more than $1.1 billion (£876 million). However, in Europe sales were down by 40%. The network that evolved from infamous advertising shop Saatchi & Saatchi in 1995 said it would now reinstate its dividend for 2022, after failing to pay it last year, and said it expects to achieve between £31 million and £41 million in profits during 2022. Here’s a flavour of her piece: The German multinational, which supplies policies across the oil and gas sector, pledged to stop insuring new oil and gas fields, oil powerplants, and oil pipelines in the Arctic by January 2023. Insurance giant Allianz is to cease insuring Arctic oil and gas fields, clamping down on policy renewals by the middle of next year as part of a push for a greener future. Airbnb chief executive Brian Chesky set out the new policy in an email to employees and said that in a decade flexible working would be the norm for most companies. “The firm therefore isn’t answering any of the questions begged by its mixed-bag fourth-quarter results from last year and shareholders also need to note that the company was cash-flow negative for the sixth time in eight quarters.”

Analysts like Truist Securities' Youssef Squali remain bullish that Amazon's outlook will improve in the second half of the year. The company's investment in electric vehicle maker Rivian weighed on its profits. Amazon invested heavily to staff up its warehouses and combat supply chain challenges, and it now faces rising inflation, as well as increasing transportation and labor costs. We estimate the company's earnings per share excluding the investment-related loss would be roughly $3.40, still 60% below consensus as the company continues to face headwinds related to shipping, labor, excess capacity, and tough prior-year comparisons." It could mark Amazon's worst day since January 2014 if the losses hold through the close. - The company on Thursday gave lighter-than-expected revenue guidance for the current quarter.
