Amazon saw solid growth during the pandemic. While that momentum continues, it also faces a string of concerns, from anti-trust moves to global tax issues. There have also been rumors of stock-slit of late as the new CEO takes over. But several observers have rebuffed the claims.

In addition, the guidance assumed that Amazon Prime Day would occur sometime in Q2. However, the 48-hour event took place from June 21 to 22.
