Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) to post quarterly earnings of $1.35 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 19.5%. Revenues are expected to be $154.56 billion, up 7.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, there has been a downward revision of 4.3% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter, leading to its current level. This signifies the covering analysts' collective reconsideration of their initial forecasts over the course of this timeframe.
