Amazon stock (AMZN) logs longest losing streak since 2006 as AI spending angst hangs over Tuesday’s reopen

Amazon.com Inc slipped another 0.4% Friday to close at $198.79, marking a ninth consecutive decline—something the stock hasn’t seen since 2006. That tumble adds up to about an 18% loss in that run, putting shares more than 20% below their November high. By most traders’ reckoning, that’s deep enough to call it a bear market, the standard being a 20% drop from a recent top.
