Investors Beg Amazon CEO To Make Profits
< p > some Wall Street analysts have begun to question whether a href= "http:// www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Amazon < /a > has the suspicion of "having more than enough to chew."
After an extraordinary busy period in the first half of this year, busy with research and development from mobile phones and Hollywood style products to sending goods to shelves, investors seem to see that Amazon has begun to yield to the company's ambitions and has begun to keep up with the company's ability to continue to make profits, or at least is trying to prove that Bezos's growing investment will soon generate attractive returns because of Amazon's main online retail business.
< /p >
"P," according to Manulife Scanlon analyst Michael Scanlan (Michael Scanlon): "Amazon's investment in one quarter after another is indeed puzzling. I really expect Amazon to make profits."
< /p >
< p > there are still some analysts who believe that reducing a href= "http:// www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > investment < /a > may obstruct Amazon's efforts to become the target of WAL-MART in the online retail industry, especially in the case of China's Alibaba group entering the US market.
The Alibaba now handles much more electronic commerce than Bea Ma Xun and eBay, and is now slowly developing the US consumer group, and is also preparing to make IPO (initial public offering) in the US market.

< p > < strong > big selling point: < /strong > < /p >
< p > > a href= "http:// www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Bezos < /a > has been sticking to the long-term goal.
Last year, Bezos responded to the criticism of his investment in his letter to shareholders. He said, "timely investment strategy will be a more sensible choice."
At present, Amazon retail business revenue growth, for investors, is still a huge selling point.
< /p >
Kerry Rice, an analyst at Needham & Co, a market research firm, said: "you have to look at it from a long-term perspective and invest in a strong growth pattern" P Kerry.
However, Amazon released the most serious quarterly loss since 2012. The loss was mainly due to an increase of 24% in operating expenses over the same period last year, especially because the company's investment in technology and content grew by 40% over the same period of 2012.
< /p >
On Friday, Amazon shares fell $34.60 to close at $324.01, or 9.6%, which also caused Amazon's market value to evaporate by around $16 billion. P
Now, in the past 9 quarters, Amazon has made 7 quarters of earnings which did not reach the expected level of Wall Street analysts.
< /p >
Less than P, however, more serious is that Amazon's estimated operating losses in the third quarter of this year may be as high as $810 million, which will also be the most serious setback in Amazon Co's profitability since 2003. However, the forecast also included a $410 million share of the award, but it did not include the costs associated with "M & A, investment and business restructuring".
< /p >
< p > investors claim that they are not only worried about Amazon's investment in hard won funds, but also worry that Amazon will not disclose where these investments are going.
Michael Yushkami, chief executive of Destination Wealth Management, California, USA, said: "most companies with gross income such as Amazon will not suffer losses similar to those of Amazon Wealth".
Investors need to get more information to prove that they have reason to be loyal to Amazon.
He sold all of Amazon's holdings last year.
< /p >
< p > however, Amason has been keeping secret information. Even the basic information of the specific sales of the Kindle tablet or Amazon Prime free delivery and the number of specific users paid for the media services has been refused to disclose.
Amazon has always claimed that the move is also affected by competition.
< /p >
< p > Scanlan claims that the more pparent the information is, the better it will help you to better evaluate investment returns.
< /p >
< p > < strong > predicament: < /strong > < /p >
< p > the two major difficulties faced by Amazon now may come from the two major areas of the company's newly launched new Google Android system based on the major revision and Amazon's production.
< /p >
In the past week, Amazon launched the Fire Phone smartphone priced at US $649, but the P phone didn't make a deep impression on the industry commentators.
Like Amazon's Fire stream box and a series of tablet computers and e-readers, the phone is basically sold and marketed at near cost of production, and is mainly aimed at promoting the sale of Amazon's e-books and media content.
< /p >
< p > Amazon has entered the TV market -- from the homemade TV drama "Alfa house" to the newly announced "Annedroids" and so on -- all failed to win the cheer like Netflix. However, Amazon still plans to invest $more than 100 million to create original video content this quarter.
< /p >
Tuna Amobi, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ, a market research firm, said (Tuna Amobi): "Amazon has a lot of problems with P."
At present, Amazon's stock rating is set at the "sell" level, and the analyst also accused Amazon of its content and hardware initiatives.
< /p >
Scanlan P said that if Amazon can buy back some stocks, investors may feel a little relieved, but this stock repurchase measure is unlikely to be realized.
Although Amazon still holds $about 5000000000 in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30th this year, analysts believe that Amazon will hardly use these funds to buy back shares.
< /p >
According to data from Thomson Reuters StarMine, Amazon's stock is worth about $36.37, or about 1/10 of its current share price, which makes Amazon one of the most expensive companies in the stock market, P.
Meanwhile, B. Riley also lowered Amazon's stock rating from "buy" to "neutral" on Friday. B. Riley claims that it is difficult to justify Amazon's valuation in the light of "impaired cash flow".
< /p >
"P": "it is not a mistake to increase investment to promote diversification of business. However, investment should be focused rather than spreading the net and taking chances.
Amazon, after all, is a listed company and needs to consider the sensitivity of investors.
