Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) trades after Prime Day jump, AWS in focus as basket sizes shrink

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) trades after Prime Day jump, AWS in focus as basket sizes shrink

Amazon.com, Inc. heads into the holiday-shortened week with mixed price signals. Prime Day numbers say shoppers will pay up when products are discounted. At the same time, Amazon Web Services managed to raise prices for hard-to-find AI compute. AMZN finished Friday at $232.69, rising 2.5% for the session. That capped a five-session run starting after the June 18 close, as Nasdaq closed for Juneteenth on June 19. Over those five sessions, AMZN fell 4.8%, lining up with the Nasdaq Composite’s 4.6% weekly drop. Volume jumped — 248.4 million shares traded Friday, well above the 65-day average of 49.7 million.

JD.com (NASDAQ:JD; HKG:9618) trades close to 52-week low after 618 data, Daiwa trims target

JD.com, Inc. added 0.79% to close at $25.39 in New York on Friday. That’s the last print for the week, as Saturday trading is outside U.S. and Hong Kong cash hours. The rise barely dented losses, with JD’s ADS still off 7.91% over the past five sessions. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.24% Friday. JD dipped intraday to $24.55, stopping just short of its $24.51 52-week low. Buyers showed up toward the close. Volume hit 13.02 million shares, topping the 10.05 million average Google Finance tracks.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) sheds $67 billion on cloud worries, taking shine off Prime Day numbers

Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) sheds $67 billion on cloud worries, taking shine off Prime Day numbers

Amazon.com, Inc. traded lower Thursday, with the slide outpacing moves seen on Prime Day. Shares were at $228.06, down $6.21, as of 1:33 p.m. EDT. With 10.76 billion shares outstanding, that cut about $67 billion from Amazon’s equity value, according to WSJ data. The figure was roughly 2.5 times Adobe’s $26.3 billion estimate for total U.S. online spending during the four-day Prime Day stretch. Adobe’s tally is for overall online sales at U.S. retailers, not just Amazon. That ratio is still important since the stock was trading on cloud risk and cash flow, not just one set of retail numbers.

Amazon stock nears Prime Day week as AWS chip push, FTC risk come into view

Amazon stock nears Prime Day week as AWS chip push, FTC risk come into view

Amazon.com stock ended Thursday at $244.39, gaining 2.9% before markets shut down for Juneteenth and the weekend. As Prime Day week kicks off, investors are eyeing two things: Amazon’s retail momentum and the company’s push to make AI costs pay off in its chip business. Amazon’s Prime Day kicks off Tuesday, June 23, and continues through Friday, June 26. The sale, which covers electronics, fashion, beauty, home, groceries, and more, will feature millions of deals for Prime members, Amazon said. Prime Day is not an earnings event, but it gives a read on short-term Prime demand.

Shopify trades lower in Toronto with Nasdaq shut, focus stays on AI move and buyback

Shopify Inc. shares in Toronto traded lower on Friday. The Nasdaq stock didn’t move because of the Juneteenth holiday, creating a split view for investors after a volatile week for the Canadian commerce firm. TSX shares fell 1.1% to C$152.06 as of 1:48 p.m. EDT, according to Google Finance. Shopify heads into the U.S. holiday break stuck near the same range. The stock finished Nasdaq trading Thursday at $108.85, up 0.70%. That’s just above where it closed June 12, $108.24. It had dropped 4.54% on Wednesday. Nasdaq will close June 19, 2026 for Juneteenth, according to StockAnalysis.

Alibaba Drops After Beijing Puts 618 Subsidies in the Spotlight

Alibaba Drops After Beijing Puts 618 Subsidies in the Spotlight

Alibaba Group Holding shares dropped again Thursday after China’s market regulator used what’s usually a standard shopping season check-in to call out Taobao and Tmall over 6.18 discount claims. The warning came as Alibaba’s New York shares were already falling. Alibaba’s Hong Kong stock slid 5.4%. JD.com shares lost 2.9%, the Financial Times said. The Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation said it called in Taobao/Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Douyin and Xiaohongshu over what it described as “involution-style” competition, meaning aggressive price battles that don’t add long-term value. The regulator found issues such as false promotion, unclear sales terms and missing info on merchants, and ordered the platforms to fix them.

Amazon Gets June Prime Day Announcement, Stock Falls

Amazon Gets June Prime Day Announcement, Stock Falls

Amazon.com Inc. slipped 1.81% to $256.52 on Tuesday, with shares losing ground while the wider market pushed higher. The drop came as Amazon locked in a June Prime Day, offering a look at its retail plans before the quarter ends. Prime Day timing is key as the event has grown beyond coupons. Amazon is using it to get shoppers to buy groceries, household items and other repeat goods. The company is still spending big on artificial intelligence to drive automation and its cloud products.

PDD Shares Drop After Profit Falls at Temu Owner

PDD Shares Drop After Profit Falls at Temu Owner

PDD Holdings Inc. shares dropped in U.S. trading Wednesday. The Temu and Pinduoduo parent missed Wall Street targets for first-quarter revenue and profit. Cheap goods aren’t offsetting weaker demand and rising competition for China’s e-commerce sector. PDD is back in focus for investors looking at Chinese internet plays, with interest in both discount shopping at home and Temu’s international push. The latest quarter had higher sales, but profit went down as spending climbed on supply chain, delivery and platform costs.

Shopify Holds in New York as AI Selloff Keeps Traders Focused

Shopify Inc’s U.S. shares face their first fresh price action Tuesday, after Nasdaq paused for the long weekend. The stock kept trading in Toronto as Canadian markets stayed open, and the shares ended higher there. The Nasdaq-listed stock closed Friday at $103.00, dropping 1.77%. Over the week, it was up about 0.6% from May 18 through May 22, based on closing prices, but trading was bumpy. Shares jumped 3.96% on Wednesday, then slid on Friday.

Amazon Stock Slips As Alexa’s AI Shopping Push Moves From Search To Checkout

Amazon Stock Slips As Alexa’s AI Shopping Push Moves From Search To Checkout

Amazon.com Inc is dialing up Alexa’s role at checkout, recasting its retail search bar as an AI-powered shopping assistant that compares products, monitors prices, and can complete purchases after shoppers lay out their preferences. Alexa for Shopping is now live for U.S. users via the Amazon Shopping app, Amazon.com, and Echo Show devices, the company said. This shift lands at a crucial moment: online retail is pivoting from basic typed searches toward agentic AI — tools that actually do things for users, not just spit out answers. For Amazon, it’s an opportunity to lock shoppers into its marketplace, hardware, and logistics ecosystem, just as competitors are scrambling for slices of the same shopping flow.

Alibaba’s Earnings Test Is Whether AI Can Pay for the Delivery Fight

Alibaba’s Earnings Test Is Whether AI Can Pay for the Delivery Fight

Alibaba Group’s U.S.-listed American depositary receipts, the NYSE-traded proxy for the Chinese company, were quoted at $136.15 in early premarket, up 1.02%, after closing Tuesday at $134.78, down 1.84%. That is the first read on the stock today: buyers are not gone, but the chart still carries the damage from pre-earnings risk cutting. Google Finance showed Tuesday’s low at $133.82 and a 52-week high of $192.67, so the rebound starts from a bruised level, not a fresh breakout. The timing matters. Alibaba is scheduled to release March-quarter and full fiscal 2026 results on May 13, with management’s conference call set for 7:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern time. Until those numbers land, the stock is trading less on proof and more on positioning: who wants to own the print, and who would rather wait for clarity on spending.

JD.com Rises as Retail Margin Beat Offsets Food-Delivery Cost Fears

JD.com Rises as Retail Margin Beat Offsets Food-Delivery Cost Fears

JD.com jumped out of the gate in Hong Kong, finishing at HK$128.20—an 8.28% gain that came within a whisker of its session peak, HK$128.30. Over in the U.S., the company’s ADR was quoted at $31.49 ahead of the New York bell, up roughly 3.2%. No mystery behind the rally. Investors had worried JD’s expansion in food delivery would keep squeezing margins. That didn’t happen. JD’s first-quarter revenue hit RMB315.7 billion, with adjusted earnings per ADS of RMB5.12—both topping expectations. Analysts polled by Investing.com were looking for RMB311 billion in revenue and RMB3.64 in adjusted earnings. Adjusted profit leaves out certain accounting items.

Shopify Stock Falls as Q2 Margin Guide Tests the AI Commerce Bull Case

Shopify Stock Falls as Q2 Margin Guide Tests the AI Commerce Bull Case

Shopify Inc. keeps posting rapid growth. Yet, the stock price reflects skepticism that this pace is sufficient. The U.S.-listed shares finished Monday at $102.54, falling 7.13%. Shares dipped further early Tuesday. This pullback stretches from about $127.55 ahead of last week’s earnings—quite a slide, especially since the company actually topped forecasts for revenue and adjusted profit. But investors are looking ahead, not back. The concern is all about the upcoming quarter.

Shopify Stock Slides Again As AI Cost Fears Spill Into Shareholder Vote

Shopify Stock Slides Again As AI Cost Fears Spill Into Shareholder Vote

Shopify Inc. shares slid 7.13% to $102.54 on Monday, extending last week’s post-earnings weakness as fresh annual-meeting documents spotlighted AI oversight for shareholders. The Nasdaq listing edged up to $102.69 after hours, with the market already shut. Timing is the key issue. Shopify’s pushing to show that AI will drive more merchants and orders into its system, but investors are keeping a close eye on spending. Shares dropped 8% after a second-quarter forecast that mostly matched expectations, Reuters reported on May 5. D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria called it a “very strong” quarter, though he flagged the company’s operating-expense outlook as the main concern.

Coupang Stock Slides After $266 Million Q1 Loss, and the Data-Breach Bill Is Still Coming Due

Coupang Stock Slides After $266 Million Q1 Loss, and the Data-Breach Bill Is Still Coming Due

Coupang Inc. shares took a 16.6% hit to $17.32 in early afternoon trading in New York on Wednesday, pressured by a $266 million net loss for the first quarter. The South Korea-focused e-commerce company blamed higher compensation and network expenses stemming from last year’s data breach for the red ink in the January–March stretch. MarketScreener provided the trading data. This isn’t just a ding to Coupang’s reputation anymore—the fallout is showing up in margins, customer growth, and legal dockets. Revenue climbed 8% to $8.5 billion, but operating loss widened to $242 million, a sharp reversal from last year’s $154 million in operating income. Legal filings are piling up, and the active-customer count is taking a hit.

Amazon Stock Nears $3 Trillion As Logistics Push Takes Aim At UPS And FedEx

Amazon Stock Nears $3 Trillion As Logistics Push Takes Aim At UPS And FedEx

Amazon shares ticked up in early premarket action Wednesday, quoted at $274.52—just enough to nudge the company closer to that $3 trillion valuation mark following a fourth straight record close. The stock was up 0.35% from Tuesday’s finish at $273.55, landing Amazon’s market cap near $2.97 trillion. A fresh push into logistics has been stirring things up for parcel giants UPS and FedEx. This shift is catching more attention these days. Amazon isn’t just defined by retail margins or cloud performance anymore. Investors are sizing up whether its sprawling delivery operation could spin out as its own cash generator—just like Amazon Web Services did for the company’s cloud push.

UPS Stock Hit as Amazon Opens Logistics Network in Direct Challenge to Parcel Giant

UPS Stock Hit as Amazon Opens Logistics Network in Direct Challenge to Parcel Giant

United Parcel Service shares came under renewed pressure ahead of Tuesday’s New York open, as Amazon.com rolled out its logistics network for external businesses—a step that investors saw as a direct threat to UPS and FedEx’s grip on parcel delivery and freight. It’s a tough moment for UPS. The Atlanta-based shipper has been scaling back its low-margin Amazon deliveries, aiming instead to drive more business-to-business volume—those higher-yield shipments that move between companies, instead of straight to consumers. Now, Amazon’s latest move targets exactly that business.
