What To Expect From Amazon’s First Quarter Earnings

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is scheduled to report its first quarter results on April 26. The e-commerce giant has reported a strong period of growth in the last couple of years, driven by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as well as its core commerce business. Amazon has managed to sustain high revenue growth despite the large base factor. In addition, the company has made major investments (for instance the Whole Foods acquisition in late August), which could help drive long-term results.

In the first quarter, Amazon expects its overall revenue to grow around 34-42% on a y-o-y basis to around $49 billion. The company’s guided range for operating income ranges from $300 million to $1 billion, as compared to $1 billion in Q1’17. Consequently, consensus estimates for Amazon’s earnings per share for the March quarter also range from $0.65 to $1.90 per share, compared to around $1.48 in the prior year period. We have created an interactive dashboard where you can change expected segment revenue and income margin figures to gauge how it will impact the company’s expected results.
