What the market tends to look at
Four things in this company
Cloud (AWS)
The growth and operating margin of this segment weigh heavily in how the report is read.
E-commerce
Sales and margin of the retail business, and logistics costs.
Advertising
A segment that grows on its own and is followed separately.
Next quarter's guidance
The ranges for revenue and operating income that Amazon expects often move the price as much as the quarter that just closed.
Dates
When does it report?
Each company announces its report date on its investor-relations site. Arco does not publish it here so as not to show you an outdated date: look it up there before planning your week.
Frequently asked questions
What everyone asks
Why is the cloud watched so closely?
Because it is a business with different margins from retail and its growth changes what the market expects from the whole company.
What is guidance?
The range of revenue and results the company expects for the next quarter. The market compares that range with its own estimates.
