Amazon Analysis 01.02.2019

Amazon.com posted a profit of $ 3 billion, or $ 6.04 per share, in the last three months of 2018, beating analyst expectations of $ 5.65 per share.

Reflecting a strong holiday season, Amazon unveiled revenues of $ 72.4 billion - the company's highest quarterly earnings - beating analysts' forecasts at $ 71.88 billion.

Despite these strong results, analysts expect e-commerce sales to slow in the first quarter of this year.

The company achieved strong sales from e-commerce, but sales in physical stores fell 3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018, recording $ 4.4 billion from $ 4.52 billion in the third quarter.

Amazon ranks first as the largest listed US company by market value, surpassing technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
