Amazon Earnings: What Should Investors Expect for AMZN Stock?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Today’s video takes a quick look at one of the most important companies this earnings season, Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) . The company continues to impress investors with the incredible growth of its Prime service, AWS division, and Prime Day sales, but can it continue to deliver on earnings?

The expectations are definitely high following impressive numbers from several other competitors in the cloud world so continued strength in the AWS division will be key to a positive reaction to AMZN’s report. Beyond that, look for investors to zero-in on Amazon’s Prime Membership numbers as this program has been a big driver of their recent success in the retail market, and looks to power their growth for years to come too.

Analysts certainly have high expectations for AMZN, and growth levels are expected to be off the charts. Consider that analysts are looking for growth of over 500% in terms of earnings this quarter (when compared to the year ago period), and full year EPS growth of over 300% too.

The most recent estimates for AMZN stock have been especially bullish, and now the company has an Earnings ESP that is more-or-less off the charts. This could set the stage for a make-or-break earnings report, but if history is any guide, then Amazon should be able to deliver in their impending earnings release.
