Amazon Earnings: What to Watch on April 28

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is slated to report its first-quarter 2022 results after the market close on Thursday, April 28. An analyst conference call is scheduled for the same day at 5:30 p.m. ET.

The e-commerce and technology behemoth is heading into its report on a mixed note. Last quarter, its earnings crushed the Wall Street consensus estimate, while its revenue was in line with expectations. However, in the prior quarter (the third quarter of 2021), Amazon missed the consensus estimate for both the top and bottom lines, with the profit miss quite large. And in the quarter before that one, the company also fell short of the Street's revenue expectation.

In 2022, Amazon stock is performing roughly in line with the broader market. It's down 9% through April 14 (April 15 was a market holiday), while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes (including dividends) are underwater by 7.5% and 14.5%, respectively.
