Foreign media: Amazon's net loss for two consecutive quarters

Zhongxin Jingwei, July 29th. Comprehensive foreign media reports that Amazon's second consecutive fiscal season has a net loss.

According to the Chinese website of the Wall Street Journal, Amazon announced on July 28 to announce a net loss in the second quarter of consecutive quarters. Essence

The above reports pointed out that Amazon had a loss again in the second quarter, and in the first quarter of 2022, Amazon suffered losses in fiscal quarterly in seven years. "Amazon CEO, who took office more than a year ago, was leading the company to spend one of the worst financial results in history." The above report wrote.

The above report mentioned that Amazon's revenue in the second quarter increased by about 7%year -on -year to US $ 121.2 billion, which was similar to the first quarter. The total loss in the second quarter was $ 2 billion, and the profit was $ 7.8 billion in the same period last year.

However, the above reports said that Amazon said that the business profit of the third quarter is expected to be between 0.35 billion US dollars, and the third fiscal quarter in 2021 is $ 4.9 billion. In addition, Amazon is expected to sell between $ 125 billion and $ 130 billion.

According to the "FT Chinese website", Amazon made an optimistic prediction of the remaining time in 2022 because the company controlled the cost of e -commerce and benefited from the market's strong demand for its cloud computing business.

The report pointed out that Amazon's strong performance in cloud computing and advertising offset the impact of the second quarter decline in the second consecutive quarter of its online store sales. Amazon said that during the remaining time in 2022, the company's expenditure in building cloud infrastructure will exceed the expenditure of e -commerce logistics.

The report also mentioned that Amazon announced earlier this week that it will increase its PRIME members' membership fees in the five European markets, including Britain. Earlier, the company raised the fees for the US PRIME members in February this year, and also charged 5%of the delivery fee to the seller of the area to offset the continuous increase in fuel prices.
