3 Things I'm Excited to See When Amazon Reports Q1 Earnings
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has seen its business grow as the world has been gripped by the coronavirus pandemic. The retailer has adjusted its operations to prioritize delivering essentials to people while having to change how its distribution warehouses operate in order to keep its workers as safe as possible.
The retail leader has been forced by circumstances to prioritize some highly sought-after items -- toilet paper, paper towels, dry goods -- as demand from consumers has shifted. Amazon has also struggled on occasion to keep needed items in stock as it prioritizes them for sale to healthcare workers. Amazon has also had to hire over 100,000 new workers as it attempts to meet the growing demand. That's a challenge under any circumstances, and it's one made even harder by the current operating environment.
All this change and the adjusted focus are likely to start being reflected in the company's Thursday, April 30, first-quarter earnings report and make the management conference call more interesting than most. Here are three things to watch.
