Amazon (AMZN) Stock Drops on Weak Q2 2019 Earnings Report

Amazon Inc. (AMZN) recently concluded its Financial Audit for the second quarter. Yet, Amazon stock dropped by approximately 2% in after-hours trading, which is way beyond roadside estimates. 

In a press release on Thursday, various analysts from the world leading financial corporations aired their voices on the Amazon’s newly announced report earnings. Below are some of the reviews.

“We see Amazon in a sweet spot of slightly accelerating revenue and key performance indicator’s with continued margin expansion as the company benefits from continued efficiency improvements, despite the expensive shift to one-day prime,” Deutsche Bank said.

“We view revenue upside as the primary driver for the stock, with profitability expectations already above the high-end of guidance,” SunTrust asserts.

The AMZN stock went down by almost $15 as the company miscalculated its earnings estimate by 6 percent. Although, the e-commerce giant were able to surpass the company income’s valuation by 1 percent. 

Amazon’s revenue recently skyrocketed by 20% in comparison to last year’s quarterly findings, which happens to be a rebound from the 16.8% benchmark during the first quarter. The operating cash flow for the trailing 12-month period that ended in June 30th 2019, was estimated to increase from $21.8 billion to $36 billion when compared to the same quarterly duration in 2018. The free cash flow upsurged to $25 billion from $10.4 billion as stated in the analysis report during the same 12-months period.

The recovery was wholly attributed to Amazon’s bid to allocate $800 million during the second quarter for restructuring the company’s logistics as well as delivery infrastructure. This is done as part of a plan to meet-up to the one-day delivery requirement for Amazon Prime Subscribers. 

Amazon’s Prime membership is fraught with a recent upgrade to a one-day delivery window cycle. With regards to the Prime one-day shipping window, Amazon founder and CEO – Jeff Bezos, responded with the following statement:

“Free one-day delivery is now available to Prime members on more than ten million items, and we’re just getting started. A big thank you to the team for continuing to make life easier for customers.”

Elaborating on the fact that customers had been highly anticipating for such a speedy delivery, Jeff further added:

“Customers are responding to Prime’s move to one-day delivery — we’ve received a lot of positive feedback and seen accelerating sales growth.” 

Over the two day period (July 15th and 16th) that ushered in the debut of the Prime Day season, Prime Day became the biggest shopping event in Amazon’s history with more than 1 million deals exclusively scheduled for Prime members.

Confirming this on Twitter, CNN nonetheless added that the total sales amounted to more than 175 million items worldwide:

A record number of Prime members in the United States shopped during the extravaganza, according to Amazon. In total, Prime members globally bought more than 175 million items. https://t.co/4BWuANROG2
