AMZN Earnings Call: Tough Questions on Slowing E-Commerce Growth

The recent earnings call of Amazon (AMZN) brought forth several tough questions from investors and analysts. One such question revolved around the company's e-commerce growth, with some expressing concerns over its slowing pace.

According to Trefis, which analyzed the Q&A session on Amazon's latest call, one investor asked about the 'slowing' growth in e-commerce sales. The response from an analyst was that it is not a matter of slowing growth but rather a shift towards higher-margin businesses like AWS and advertising.

However, this answer did little to alleviate concerns over Amazon's e-commerce segment. Another question touched on the company's expenses, with some analysts pointing out that its operating margin has been declining in recent quarters.
