After the closing bell on Thursday, the online e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN Quick QuoteAMZN - Free Report) disappointed investors with a wide Q3 earnings miss and a downbeat outlook for the holiday quarter on increased spending on shipping, video offerings and other projects.

Q3 Results in Detail

The company reported earnings per share of 52 cents, up over 200% year over year but way below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents. Revenues climbed 29% year over year to $32.7 billion and topped our estimate of $32.6 billion.

Though the retail segment was not strong as the company doubled its spending on the creation and marketing of movies and TV shows ahead of the holiday season, higher-than-expected revenues were credited to the fast-growing cloud computing business. Notably, revenues from the cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), rose 55% year over year to $3.23 billion (see: all the Technology ETFs here).

For the ongoing second quarter, the company expects revenues to grow 17–27% to $42.0–$45.5 billion. The mid-point is much below analysts’ expectation of $44.6 billion as polled by Thomson Reuters and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $44.7 billion. Amazon also expects operating income in the range of $0–$1.25 billion compared with $1.1 billion in the year-ago period.

Given the earnings miss and disappointing holiday-quarter guidance, shares of AMZN tumbled nearly 6% in after-market hours. This fall marked the end of the recent eight-and-a-half month uptrend, as per technical analysts. However, the dip could be temporary for Amazon as the online giant continued its growth in the cloud computing business with AWS on track to hit over $11 billion or a possible $12 billion this year (read: Catch Cloud with These ETFs).

Further, Amazon has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and boasts a solid industry Zacks Rank in the top 15% with a VGM Style Score of B, suggesting that the online giant is poised for strong growth in the coming months.
