Why Amazon Stock Plummeted 24% Last Month (Motley Fool)

The company posted a loss per share of $7.56 on revenue of $116.4 billion. Sales for the period fell just short of the average analyst estimate, but the average ...

Meanwhile, advertising revenue grew 25% to reach roughly $7.9 billion but fell short of the $8.2 billion in sales targeted by the average analyst estimate. This target came in significantly below the $125.17 billion in revenue called for by the previous average analyst estimate. AWS remains incredibly strong, and the company's e-commerce business should deliver strong growth over the long term even though its current performance is disappointing the market. Amazon's investment in electric vehicle (EV) company Rivian was to blame for its net loss in Q1. The EV specialist's share price has fallen precipitously in recent months, forcing Amazon to adjust the value on its books. Amazon Web Services (AWS) continued to serve up impressive performance and grew sales roughly 36.5% year over year to reach $18.44 billion in sales, and the unit posted an excellent 35.3% operating margin. Sales for the period fell just short of the average analyst estimate, but the average analyst estimate had actually targeted per-share earnings of $8.36 for the period.

Amazon Stock Slides, Extending Historic Slump, As Analysts Pick ... (TheStreet)

Amazon shares extended declines Monday, following on from its biggest single-day decline in fifteen years, as analysts move to re-set price and ratings ...

The division earned just over $6.5 billion with a profit margin of around 35%. "Our guidance includes an expectation that we will incur approximately $4 billion of these incremental costs in Q2." "Labor and physical space are no longer the bottlenecks they were throughout much of 2020 and 2021. However, we continue to face a variety of cost pressures in our consumer business," Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky told investors on Thursday. "When you combine the impacts of the externally driven costs and the internally controllable costs, you get approximately $6 billion in incremental costs for the quarter." That mis-match, alongside a $7.6 billion write down on its investment in EV maker Rivian ( RIVN) - Get Rivian Automotive, Inc. Class A Report, led to a surprise $3.8 billion first quarter loss, and a second quarter operating income forecast of between -$1 billion to +$3 billion on revenues in the range of $116 billion to $121 billion. Amazon said its first quarter revenues rose 7% from last year to $116.4 billion, just ahead of analysts' estimates of a $116.30 billion tally but the slowest year-on-year growth in more than a decade, as total operating expenses rose 13.2% at $112.78 million.
