Amazon’s stock (NASDAQ: AMZN) has fallen by 2.2% over the last five trading days. The company announced its results on February 2nd, 2021. For FY 2020 Amazon recorded revenues at $386 billion, up 37% and earnings per share at $42.61, up from $23.46 in the previous year due to better operational efficiency. The company also declared that Jeff Bezos will step down as CEO in Q3 2021 and Andy Jassy is set to take over.

Though the company beat consensus estimates in revenue and earnings, the news of Jeff Bezos stepping down resulted in the stock falling  2.2% in the previous week. In comparison, the broader S&P 500 grew by 2.5% over the last five trading days. Now, is Amazon’s stock poised to grow? We believe that there is a 68% chance of a rise in Amazon’s stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last five years.
