原标题: Amazon’s record holiday sales send stock soaring toward $1 trillion
valuation
Amazon.com Inc. defied its own disappointing forecast and returned to
earnings growth in the holiday quarter with more than $3 billion in profit,
sending shares soaring toward a $1 trillion valuation in the extended session
Thursday.
The e-commerce and cloud-computing stalwart reported fourth-quarter profit of
$3.3 billion, or $6.47 a share, on record quarterly sales of $87.4 billion,
after reporting profit of $6.04 a share on sales of $72.38 billion a year
ago. Analysts on average expected Amazon AMZN, +9.72% to report earnings of
$4.04 a share on revenue of $86.03 billion, according to FactSet, after
Amazon disappointed Wall Street with its holiday forecast three months ago.
Amazon healthily beat that holiday forecast, returning to growth after a
decline in the previous quarter broke a streak of more than two years without
a profit drop. After slowing down its spending in 2018, following the
acquisition of Whole Foods Market Inc. and other efforts, the company enjoyed
record annual profit of more than $10 billion.
Amazon stock jumped about 11% in after-hours trading, after closing with a
0.7% increase to $1,870.68 that gave it a market capitalization of $927
billion. If those gains hold into Friday’s trading session, Amazon could top
a $1 trillion market capitalization, joining Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.21%,
Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.02% and Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, +1.08% GOOG, +1.10%
in that exclusive club. Shares have lagged behind the S&P 500 index SPX,
+0.31% amid Amazon’s spending increase, rising 11.9% in the past year as
the S&P 500 has gained 22.1%.
