Amazon Stock Pops More Than 5%The e-commerce giant's Q4 revenue guidance also beat Wall Street's expectation. Shares of Amazon (AMZN 7.49%) jumped 5.4% in Thursday's volatile after-hours trading session, following the e-commerce and cloud computing leader's release of its third-quarter 2023 report. The gain is attributable to the quarter's revenue and earnings both sprinting by Wall Street's estimates, with the bottom-line beat a particularly big one. Investors were also likely pleased that revenue guidance for the fourth quarter -- the particularly important holiday quarter -- exceeded the analyst expectation. 1. Revenue grew 13% Amazon's net quarterly sales grew 13% year over year to $143.1 billion, easily surpassing the $133.4 billion Wall Street had expected. That result also edged by the company's guidance range of $138 billion to $143 billion. Excluding the favorable effect from foreign-currency exchange, revenue increased 11% from the year-ago period. Year-over-year revenue growth at AWS continued to slow on a sequential-quarter basis. In the prior three quarters, the cloud computing unit's year-over-year revenue grew 12% (Q2 2023), 16% (Q1 2023), and 20% (Q4 2022). This slowdown is industrywide, as many businesses are being cautious with their spending due to the uncertain macro environment. On the earnings call, management expressed optimism that the surging adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) will be a big tailwind for its AWS business. That said, AWS's profitability increased significantly (as discussed in the next section) more than its revenue, and profitability growth, arguably, is more important than revenue growth. Moreover, Amazon's e-commerce business's revenue growth outperformed Wall Street's expectations, which more than compensated for AWS's revenue falling just a tad short of the Street's estimate ($23.06 billion vs $23.13 billion). This dynamic underscores the benefit of diversification. 2. Operating income soared 348% The quarter's operating income more than quadrupled from the year-ago period to $11.2 billion. This result walloped Amazon's guidance range for operating income between $5.5 billion and $8.5 billion. AWS's operating income growth was robust on both a year-over-year and a sequential basis. As noted in the chart, it jumped 30% year over year, and it also increased 30% from the prior quarter (Q2 2023). In the prior quarter, AWS's operating income edged down 5% year over year to $5.4 billion. 3. Earnings per share surged 236% In Q3, net income was $9.9 billion, or $0.94 per share, up 236% year over year. This result crushed the earnings per share (EPS) of $0.28 that Wall Street had expected. The quarter's net income includes a pre-tax valuation gain of $1.2 billion included in nonoperating expense from Amazon's common stock investment in electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive, which went public in November 2021. The year-ago quarter's net income had included a pre-tax valuation gain of $1.1 billion from the Rivian stock. 4. Operating cash flow rose 81% for the trailing year Operating cash flow jumped 81% to $71.7 billion for the trailing-12-month period. Free cash flow (FCF) was $21.4 billion for this period, compared with negative $19.7 billion in the year-ago period. The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $50.1 billion, and long-term debt of $61.1 billion. Investors should mainly focus on Amazon's operating cash flow, rather than its FCF. FCF can jump around a lot quarter to quarter based on how much money the company is investing in growth initiatives. 5. Revenue is expected to grow 7% to 12% in the fourth quarter For Q4, management guided for net sales in the range of $160 billion to $167 billion, which would amount to growth of 7% to 12% year over year. This guidance includes an expected favorable impact of 40 basis points (0.4 percentage points) from foreign exchange rates. Going into the Q3 report, Wall Street had been modeling for Q4 revenue of $157.2 billion, so Amazon's top-line guidance was higher than what analysts had been expecting. Amazon, which doesn't provide earnings guidance, also said that it expects Q4 operating income will be between $7.0 billion and $11.0 billion, compared with $2.7 billion in the prior-year period. A good overall quarter Amazon turned in a strong quarter, especially considering the uncertain macro environment. With its leading positions in two massive growth markets -- e-commerce and cloud computing -- Amazon still has a long runway for growth.

AMAZON Making a bullish break out, potentially long term.Amazon / AMZN had a huge price leap after yesterday's earnings release and already crossed over the top of the Falling Wedge pattern. This is the main pattern despite the fact that a Channel Down potentially exists as the Wedge's Lower High was priced/ rejected on the 1day MA50. Equally important is the fact that yesterday the price fall stopped a little over the 1day MA200, which is the first long term Support (1week MA50 being the second). Buy for the long term and target 145.80 (Resistance B). Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

Amazon (AMZN) -> Growing With E-CommerceMy name is Philip, I am a German swing-trader with 4+ years of trading experience and I only trade stocks , crypto , options and indices 🖥️ I only focus on the higher timeframes because this allows me to massively capitalize on the major market swings and cycles without getting caught up in the short term noise. This is how you build real long term wealth! In today's anaylsis I want to take a look at the bigger picture on Amazon. Looking back at January of 2023 you can see that Amazon stock perfectly retested and already rejected the support trendline of the rising channel and also a previous resistance level. With Amazon currently retesting resistance at the $141 level, I do expect a minor rejection but then I would love to see a break and retest and another push higher to retest the channel top. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I know that this is a quite simple trading approach but over the past 4 years I've realized that simplicity and consistency are much more important than any trading strategy.

Amazon -> Continuation TradeMy name is Philip, I am a German swing-trader with 4+ years of trading experience and I only focus on price action and market structure 🖥️ I am trading the higher timeframes because this allows me to massively capitalize on the major market swings and cycles without getting caught up in the short term noise. This is how you build real long term wealth! In today's anaylsis I want to take a look at the bigger picture on Amazon. After the recent rejection away from the lower support trendline of the rising channel I do now expect a short term correction back to the $105 level. Then we could see an inverted head and shoulders pattern which indicates more upside potential and eventually new all time highs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - When the market moves where, and how, and if - these are all unknown.

AMAZON --- is down over 40%! 2031 Till next ATH?The drawdown visualisation is a great tool to determine the characteristic of previous and current market conditions in whatever asset you are looking it. Here I have drawn up AMZN priced in CPI index units rather than notional US Dollar's. For what purpose do people allocate money to equities... but to grow a nest-egg for the your future. But timing is everything And we can see that AMZN is currently down over 40% priced against goods/services/expenditures Effectively you have gotten 40% poorer (assuming 100% allocation at the top... unlikely I know ,,, but for illustrative purposes still useful to know. .. And the point is how during a bull market, the price doesn't deviate away from the high that much. in 2022 we have already been down 60% are we facing a price reset for risk and stalling market for the rest of the decade. It has happened many times before, so we have to assume the old adage History Rhyming.

AMAZON Will easily overcome this. Buy now, low prices won't lastAmazon / AMZN has paused the aggressive rally since the start of the year and is testing the 1week MA100 as Support. Being around the 0.618 Fibonacci level, a similar pattern where the 1week MA100 was supporting, emerged in 2007 and 2009. You can see that it is the same sharp recovery formation, which after an aggressive rise, it accumulated on the 1week MA100 and then blasted through to the 1.382 Fibonacci extension. It may not look like it but this price level is a buy opportunity that we might not see again any time soon. The 1.382 Fib is at $260. Late 2024 target perhaps?

AMAZON: Testing the 1D MA100. Will it hold?AMAZON is on the third straight day where it respects the 1D MA100. Holding this level translates into a rebound base as the long term pattern is a Channel Up. The 1D technical outlook hasn't been lower thought (RSI = 40.739, MACD = -0.760, ADX = 35.289) since December 28th 2022, so the slightest cross below, should extend the downfall under the Channel Up and towards the 1D MA200. The Huge Buy Zone is inside the 0.382 - 0.5 Fibonacci range. Those will be the two buy entries and our target on the medium term is the R1 level (TP = 145.90). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

AMZN, Decisive H-S-FORMATION, Setup For BROADER PULLBACKS!Hello, Welcome to this analysis about AMZN and the 4-day timeframe perspectives. Since major stocks in the stock market such as PYPL or FB recently showed up with heavily increased volatility bearish pullbacks to the downside the advance-decline line of the whole averaged stock market is declining which means that a pullback in the other bigger market cap stocks such as AMZN is increasing the more other stocks follow these developments, this can also lead to increased volatility to the downside in which the whole market turns to the downside. Therefore it is necessary to do not keep this scenario from the desk and consider the technicals to rightly prepare and also possibly catch opportunities in this market environment. Therefore when looking at my chart, we can watch there how AMZN is now building this main head-shoulder-formation with the left shoulder and the head already completed. Now with forming the right shoulder, AMZN has a huge resistance within the main Upper-Resistance-Cluster which is marked in red in my chart, in this case, there is a high possibility given that from there on AMZN pulls back to the downside which will show the origin of final completion of the head-shoulder-formation. Once AMZN has completed the head-shoulder-formation bearishly below the neckline as seen in my chart this will activate lower target-zones shown in my chart at the 1980 level marked in black, once these levels have been reached it will be determining on if AMZN holds these levels or just sets up for a continuation. If AMZN breaks below these targets and into the Bearish-Continuation-Zone marked in red this will lead to a Wave-C-Extension down the line, in any case, it is necessary to keep the bearish perspectives in mind and be prepared on these dynamics. In this manner, thank you for watching the analysis, all the best! "There are many roads to prosperity, but one must be taken."

AMZN, Develops Main Ascending-Triangle, Bullish Breakout Ahead!Hello Traders Investors And Community, Welcome to this analysis about AMZN, we are looking at the 12-hour timeframe perspectives. AMZN in recent times is in a very interesting constellation as it managed to hold its higher base-formation and is showing up with some bounces within. Besides that, I discovered this amazing ascending-triangle-formation within the structure marked with the black boundaries. Within this triangle-formation, AMZN has the coherent wave count and the waves A and B already completed. As AMZN now approaches the upper boundary of the triangle where still resistance is lying this is likely to be the origin of the wave C that will approach the confirmational-bounce-cluster from where a bounce can be expected. In this case, it is necessary that AMZN rightly holds this zone and does not falls below because this will invalidate the formation. When AMZN then manages to bounce in the structure and finally marks above the upper boundary it will be the proper confirmational breakout setup to activate upside targets mainly lies within the 3850 zones marked in blue. When AMZN reaches out to these targets it has to be elevated how it proceeds further and if there can come a continuation of bullishness right away or AMZN firstly settles for a pullback which is not unlikely in this case. For now, the upcoming bullish breakout should be expected, it will be an interesting development ahead of upcoming times. In this manner, thank you everybody for watching, support the idea with a like and follow or comment, have a good day, and all the best!
