Amazon earnings reaction & data
According to the principal analyst Andrew Lipsman:
“This was a tough quarter for Amazon with trends across every key area of the business heading in the wrong direction and a weak outlook for Q2,” said Andrew Lipsman.
“The struggles begin with the commerce business, which couldn’t reverse the softening growth of recent quarters and even went negative. That created a drag on subscription and seller services revenue, and more importantly weighed on growth rates for its high-margin ad business.
Tapering topline growth in AWS following several quarters of acceleration is another concern, though improving profitability in the segment is a bright spot. Bottom line: Amazon will need to find a way to recharge growth in its commerce business in the coming quarters–don’t be surprised if Amazon hosts a second Prime Day this year in October to generate incremental revenues.”
