Amazon - AMZN - Share Chat

What does ‘missing earnings’ mean here really? The number show a minuscule change … and it’s what analysts expected rather than Amazon .

The next quarter’s numbers guidance are lower than what analysts were expecting. To me the question is not what analysts expect but what management does relative to its own guidance. Analysts did not take into account that Amazon would increase its costs. Looking at Amazon, in particular, just another company IMO is a mistake (at least for now). And Andy has been up there for a along time leading AWS since its inception i.e.18 years.

That’s why I am interested in what funds actually sold and why. Scanning a few big ones … there is no evidence they sold anything. So who sold :face_with_monocle: Hedge funds or derivatives speculators? Maybe nobody serious - as far as I can see the company has has this level of volatility at least July 2020.

Just got the Honey email and the title was “UKs biggest fund buys Amazon” I thought that was the biggest finance story of the year for a split second. :rofl:

The online retail giant blamed the move on high fees charged by Visa to process transactions.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long to get a BNPL function rolled out, it’s hardly a Klarna esq offering

I applied when I was trying to buy a laptop and wasn’t approved. Even with a good credit score. So it’s no so easy to get it.

I’d loose the keys to at least one of those and then be to embarrassed to say anything so just never go back!

The loss a visa credit has really affected the shares. Currently at $2788! Anyone got any foresight on projections for this?

It’s still up 30% on pre covid levels. The business has grown but also taken on huge numbers of staff quickly which means there are likely some inefficiencies that’ll hit to bottom line

$500 range. Had a low of 2725 earlier. Now post-market $3289. Insanity!

I saw the first pop (approx 10%) with the announcement of increasing Amazon prime in the US by 15%. Then the earnings followed

Gosh.
