Tech Earnings Outlook Amid Nasdaq Turmoil
Part of the Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) earnings disappointment reflected the impact of the by-now familiar headwinds of logistical bottlenecks and rising expenses. But the other part is the ‘normalization’ of the ecommerce giant’s business after a period of unusually strong demand during the pandemic.
Many market watchers suspected that the strong business trends for Amazon and others during the pandemic was a result of demand getting ‘pulled forward’ that will eventually need to be accounted for. Part of what we are seeing with Amazon, Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) and many others is essentially that trend at play.
Big part of the Tech sector are still thriving. In fact, most Tech companies servicing enterprises, as against consumers, are still seeing strong demand trends. Operators in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics and other areas are enjoying strong demand trends, though the stock market doesn’t appear to be in the mood at present to appreciate those distinctions.
