Thu May 01 19:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Amazon’s Upcoming Earnings Report: History Suggests Potential Volatility

**NEW YORK, NY** – Amazon (AMZN) is set to release its Q1 2025 earnings report on Thursday, May 1st, and analysts are looking to historical data to anticipate market reactions. According to Trefis, a financial analysis firm, Amazon has historically seen negative one-day returns following 60% of its earnings announcements over the past five years, with a median drop of -6.1% and a maximum single-day decline of -14%.

This information, Trefis suggests, presents opportunities for event-driven traders. They can either pre-position themselves based on the historical probability of a negative reaction or analyze the correlation between short-term and medium-term post-earnings performance to inform their trading strategy. The firm points out correlations between 1-day, 5-day, and 21-day post-earnings returns, suggesting possible trading approaches based on these relationships.

Analysts currently project Amazon to report earnings of $1.36 per share on revenue of $155.1 billion, a significant increase compared to the same period last year. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is expected to be a key driver of this growth, although the company anticipates a $2 billion negative impact from foreign currency translation. Despite this, Amazon boasts a $2 trillion market capitalization, $638 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue, $69 billion in operating profits, and $59 billion in net income.

For investors seeking lower-volatility alternatives, Trefis highlights its High Quality portfolio, which has reportedly outperformed the S&P 500 since its inception. The firm also promotes its Revenue Valuation (RV) strategy. However, the article cautions that individual investment decisions should be based on thorough research and risk tolerance.
