12:16am, Friday, 04'th Feb 2022 Seeking Alpha
Amazon Explodes 18% Higher On Solid Earnings, AWS Beat, Prime Price Increase With the bulk of the FAAMG stocks - which is now GAMMA following Facebook''s rebranding to Meta - having reported Q4 results (some great, like GOOLG and MSFT, some, like Facebook, terrible), investors were keenly looking to Amazon earnings, where the biggest question for Amazon is how sustainable are the growth trends that boosted its performance during the pandemic. The Internet giant was one of the biggest beneficiaries of shifts in consumer and business behavior last year while continuing to grab market share in cloud. As Bloomberg notes, 2022 is a critical year for new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who is facing a declining stock price, slowing e-commerce growth, rising costs, and labor concerns in New York and Alabama. He’s also facing inflation, new consumer technology rivals and third-party product delays in the early days of his first full year as the company’s top executive. Many analysts are expecting a price hike to Amazon Prime given inflation.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a bill aimed at curtailing the market power of Apple Inc.''s and Google parent Alphabet Inc.''s app stores. By a 20-2 vote, the committee pushed along the Open App Markets Act, with only Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., in opposition. It is the second tech competition bill passed by the committee this year. Last month, the panel advanced the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, which would accomplish some of the same goals but is broader and could apply to Amazon.com Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. as well. Both bills, which go to the full Senate, are intended to help developers led by advocates such as Epic Games Inc., Spotify Technology , and Match Group Inc. .

Retail Investors Are Flooding In To Buy Meta''s Face-plant Dip Years of BTFD instinct don''t go away just like that, and with Facebook plunging the 26%, its biggest drop ever, and also the biggest loss of market cap by any company in US history - putting it in context FB has lost more value today than the market cap of 455 S&P500 members - and after its opening collapse, the retail crew has arrived and according to Fidelity, thousands of retail investors are buying the dip this morning. According to Fidelity , FB was by far the most traded among individual investors using Fidelitys platform, with volumes more than five times that of Tesla, the second-most traded stock according to Bloomberg. The imbalance was 80% in favor of dip buyers, with more than 49k buy orders placed on the platform as of 11:52am, compared to 12k sell orders as of 11:52 a.m. in New York. In context, the staggering amount of buy orders was roughly seven times the demand for Amazon, the second-most bought stock.
