This week the company goes up and down. What is going on with Amazon stock? Is this a reaction to the upcoming first-quarter results?
On Monday, April 24, Amazon shares rose 2% to roughly $109 on SimpleFX. It was Amazon’s fourth green day. However, the stock’s price has been trading downward since Tuesday, April 25, and plummeted over 4% the next day, from over $107 to $102.54 on Wednesday. Amazon’s stock might decrease for two reasons: sympathy for major US indexes following UPS’s worse-than-expected first-quarter earnings release, rising economic concerns, or even in anticipation of the company’s first-quarter earnings report.
Amazon will release its first-quarter 2023 earnings on Thursday, April 27. Analysts think the company will bring in $124.5 billion in sales. They also estimate that the company will make a net profit of 21 cents per share.
