What is Amazon?
Amazon operates a large online and physical retail marketplace, supported by a logistics and fulfillment network, third-party seller services, an advertising business and the Prime subscription program. It also owns Amazon Web Services (AWS), a major cloud infrastructure provider.
Why investors watch Amazon
AWS has historically generated a large share of Amazon's operating profit despite representing a smaller share of total revenue than retail, because cloud infrastructure typically carries higher margins than e-commerce. Investors often watch the balance between retail growth, AWS growth and margins across both.
Risks and volatility
Retail margins are thin and sensitive to logistics costs and competition, while AWS faces competition from other large cloud providers. Amazon has also drawn regulatory and antitrust attention in multiple jurisdictions, and its results are sensitive to broader consumer spending trends.
Long-term investing considerations
Amazon does not currently pay a dividend, so any return depends entirely on the change in share price over time rather than on distributed income. Consider that difference when comparing it with dividend-paying holdings in a broader plan.
