Summary

• Amazon's stock might have dropped following its Q1 2024 results, but it has more than recovered since, as there's much to like about the numbers.
• A good operating margin was a notable positive in the report, though there's reason for some concern about it.
• Rising competition from the likes of Temu and a softening US consumer market can put downward pressure on revenues, while ongoing labor challenges can increase costs.
• For now, however, it's expected that the company's numbers will continue to be positive for the stock. These, along with its forward P/E indicate further upside ahead for Amazon.

The stock market did not respond positively to e-commerce marketplace giant Amazon.com Inc.'s ( AMZN ) first quarter (Q1 2024) results, with a 3.3% price drop on the day they were released.
