Amazon slumps as tech selloff worsens
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s shares tumbled about 13% in premarket trading, with the online retailer coming close to losing its spot in the trillion-dollar company club, after forecasting holiday-quarter sales below Wall Street estimates.
The dour outlook worsened this week’s tech selloff amid fears of a looming recession, weighing on shares of Meta Platforms Inc, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT).
Amazon’s shares, which were down 12.8% at $96.77, were trading at their lowest since March 2020.
However, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) shone bright amid a crowd of dimming lights in the Big Tech space, as the iPhone maker said it expects holiday-quarter revenue to grow by under 8%, compared with estimates of 3%.
Many view the megacap companies as bellwethers for how corporate America is faring during a year in which inflation has soared, pushing the U.S. Federal Reserve to enact a series of jumbo-sized rate hikes that have bruised markets.
