First quarter in which AMZN reported a sequential decline in revenues....and revenue growth continues to slow. They are finally looking like a regular retailer in the quarter after Christmas. They will have to raise prices, guard against over-expansion, trim operating costs, and do all the things that the rest of the retail world has been working on for a hundred years. In the fall quarter they had the handy excuse that sales were rocketing through the roof so fast there were bound to be inefficiencies. If anyone listened to the CC, w/b interested in what the spin is now. At some point not too many moons down the road this joint needs annual pre-tax net income in the area of at least $1 billion to support today's lowered stock price. [An after-tax P/E of around 27 assuming tax rate 34-35%.] Is that theoretically possible with this model?
