Amazon:

Amazon AMZN posted revenue of $89 billion against estimates of $81 billion, with the actual results rising 40% year-over-year.

Amazon Web Services revenue came in at $10.8 billion, missing estimates of $11 billion, but still growing 28%. The strength was seen in an explosive e-commerce result, which got a boost from the at-home environment.

Some may have been skeptical that this tailwind was one-time and may not be appropriate to be modeled into estimates for multiple years out.

But Amazon tempered that fear, issuing guidance for the third quarter that calls for $90 billion in revenue, up 30% year-over-year.

That's just above where revenue had been growing in the past few quarters. Analysts were looking for Q3 revenue of $86 billion.

Amazon also sometimes favors customer acquisition and the ability to meet demand over profitability over the short-term. But against expectations for an operating margin of 1.4%, the company delivered a 6.5% margin and guided for strength in profitability ahead. Without safety-related costs, the margin would have been in the double digits.

Earnings per share for the reported quarter was $10.30 against estimates of $5.70, with the actual result growing 97%.

"COVID-19 has been like injecting Amazon with a growth hormone and is driving sales expansion in ways that even the rollout of one-day Prime shipping was not able to," wrote D.A. Davidson & Co. analyst Tom Forte in a note.

And a raised price target by 15% came from RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney, who lifed his target multiple on 2022 EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax and non-cash expenses).

Up 4% Wednesday, Amazon trades at just under 100 times next year's earnings, although investors are becoming more willing to pay that multiple as the company's growth opportunities relentlessly expand.

Now’s a Good Time to Buy Amazon (AMZN) Stock

by Louis Navellier

When Amazon bought out Whole Foods, this move might have been considered speculative at the time. Yet, today we can view it as one of Amazon’s most successful ventures. It’s the sort of forward thinking that’s behind all of the greatest growth stocks.

The company is reportedly in talks to possibly buy a $20-billion stake in Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd. That company is part of Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries. If the deal goes through as planned, Amazon could own a 40% stake in Reliance Retail Ventures. This, in itself, would diversify Amazon’s business in a big way and would turn a competitor into an ally.

Amazon: Amazon's sales grew 37% to $96 billion year-over-year (yes, you read that correctly).

Profit increased 197% to more than $6 billion.

"There is no doubt that Amazon's latest results show it continues to be a winner from disruption caused by the pandemic," Neil Saunders, analyst at GlobalData Retail, told clients.

Amazon (AMZN)

Amazon’s net sales jumped 37%, year-over-year, to $96.1 billion and topped analysts’ estimates of $92.6 billion by 3.8%.

The company’s cloud division, Amazon Web Services, grew year-over-year sales in the quarter by 29% to $11.6 billion.

Earnings of $12.40 per share soared 192% from a year prior, and demolished analysts’ expectations of $7.40 per share by 67%.

The company expects fourth-quarter sales from $112 billion to $121 billion, which would represent from 28% to 38% growth from the fourth quarter of 2019.

Operating income is expected to be between $1.0 billion and $4.5 billion, compared with $3.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The company attributes its wide range in expected income in part to an expected $4 billion in costs for testing, cleaning and social distancing steps taken to address COVID-19.

Investors sold shares Friday on the uncharacteristic uncertainty from Amazon, with the stock down about 4%.

Analysts anticipate revenue will soar in the upcoming quarter to $117.2 billion, while earnings should dip to $7.72 per share.

Amazon.com (AMZN)

E-commerce and cloud services are two businesses that have thrived in a difficult 2020, and Amazon is the U.S. leader in both categories.

In the third quarter, Amazon reported 37.4% revenue growth, and net income nearly tripled compared with a year ago.

Unfortunately, investors seem to be cashing out of megacap tech stocks and rotating to underperforming value stocks.

In addition, the European Commission recently issued a charge sheet against Amazon related to alleged antitrust violations.

Short sellers may be betting that Amazon will run into issues with U.S. antitrust regulators in the near future as well.

Dusaniwsky says Amazon has been the most costly short trade of the year so far in 2020, with Amazon short sellers suffering a combined $5.2 billion in year-to-date, mark-to-market losses.

However, short sellers appear to be digging in heading into the end of the year, adding $827.6 million to their positions in the past 30 days and bringing Amazon's total short interest to $9.78 billion.
