Live updates: Amazon to report 4th-quarter earnings
Amazon reports fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday.
Investors will be watching growth in the AWS cloud unit and profitability levels in the retail division.
The company's stock is up 2.3% in 2023, slightly outpacing the market.
Amazon will report fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday after the closing bell.
Growth in Amazon's AWS cloud unit, profitability levels in its retail division, and progress in growing its advertising and artificial intelligence business will be top of mind for Wall Street analysts.
Amazon's stock was up 2.3% year-to-date through Wednesday's close, slightly outpacing the S&P 500's 1.8% gain.
Goldman Sachs says 'AWS revenue growth will remain a key area of debate.'
Goldman Sachs said in a note earlier this month that Amazon is well positioned to scale its profit margins in retail and grow even more efficient from a cost perspective. That should ultimately help the company beat analyst estimates when it reports its fourth-quarter results.
The bank expects Amazon to report revenue slightly ahead of estimates at $166.5 billion, and AWS revenue growth of 14%, which would represent an acceleration of growth from its reported 12% jump in the third-quarter.
"We view Amazon as well positioned as a leader in all aspects of secular growth within our Internet coverage and reiterate our Buy rating into 2024 with a PT of $200 (from $190)," Goldman said.
