<p class="canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)–sm Mt(0.8em)–sm" type="text" content="The company offered upbeat revenue guidance for the ongoing quarter. For the third quarter, the company expects revenues to grow 17-24% to $66-$70 billion. The mid-point of the range is slightly above the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $67.2 billion, which indicates 18.8% growth. Amazon is facing heightened regulatory scrutiny with antitrust officials in the United States and European Union launching investigations into the company’s business practices (read: Antitrust Probe Likely to Hit These Tech ETFs).

Market Impact

The earnings miss pushed shares of AMZN lower as much as 2.5% in aftermarket hours on elevated volume. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and VGM Score of B, suggesting that Amazon is primed for growth in the future. Further, Amazon belongs to a bottom-ranked industry (top 21%).
