Amazon's stock jumps 6% after its 4th-quarter results beat the Street's expectations (AMZN)

Amazonwill report its fourth-quarter results onThursday after the market closes. Here's what Wall Street analysts are expecting the company to report, according to data collected by Bloomberg:

  • Revenue: $
  • Revenue from Amazon Web Services:
  • Earnings per share (GAAP, not accounting for impact of tax reform):

With Amazon's shares trading at more than 300 times its projected earnings for 2017, its stock could take a steep stumble if its numbers miss the mark.

In addition to the top and bottom line numbers, investors and analysts will also likely be scrutinizing Amazon's report for updates on AWS and Whole Foods, the grocery chain Amazon purchased last year. AWS, Amazon's cloud computing operation, has been providing the bulk of its profits in recent quarters. But there's ongoing concern about whether and the extent to which AWS will be affected by potential price cuts from competitors, which include Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Amazon has said Whole Foods will add to its bottom line, but investors will likely be looking for more details about how Amazon is integrating the grocery chain into its operations.
