Online Retail: Amazon Trouble a Signal of Trouble for Other Online Retailers?
Bad news for online retailers: Amazon‘s (Nasdaq: AMZN ) stock dropped Thursday morning after Goldman Sachs said the online retailer may miss analysts’ fourth-quarter sales estimates, reports Bloomberg.
According to a note from Goldman, the company’s sales may grow 38% from last year to $17.9 billion. That figure misses analysts expectations of $18.2 billion.
E-commerceBecause Amazon in the U.S.’s largest online retailer, and usually outpaces holiday e-commerce spending growth, a dip in sales may serve as an indicator for the online retail market as a whole.
Bloomberg reports data from ComScore.com, which showed Amazon has historically outpaced other online retailers by 23%.
In addition to a variety of products available on Amazon’s site, Amazon also sells its Kindle line. The retailer said it sold “well over” 1 million kindles per week in December, with demand led by its Kindle Fire tablet (via Bloomberg). If Amazon is still losing out, given its additional revenues from Kindles, other e-commerce retailers may be in trouble.
