Amazon AMZN Stock Rises 9.31% in One Day
Impressive growth for Amazon’s AMZN stock in only one day. What caused AMZN stock to grow so rapidly? What does it mean for investors?
Similarly to Facebook’s META stock, Amazon’s AMZN stock rose by a fairly high percentage on Friday, joining META in growing the S&P index by quite a bit.
Amazon’s AMZN stock rose an impressive 9.31% in only one day. On Thursday, February 1st, AMZN stock opened at $157.17. By the time the stock market closed at 4:00 PM on Friday, February 2nd, it was at $171.80.
On Thursday, February 1st, AMZN announced that the price of Amazon Prime was going to be increased by 17% to $14.99 instead of $12.99.
Amazon’s quarterly report came out on February 2nd, which must’ve contributed to the growth in market capitalization by roughly $190 million when the stock market closed. Typically, investors read quarterly reports before investing in stocks like Amazon, which could explain part, if not all, of the growth. Amazon’s current value is now $1.6 trillion.
At roughly $170 per share, AMZN stock is at a pretty good price for investors to sell their shares for a profit unless they want to continue investing long-term and wait another two to five years or more before selling for even higher.
For investors who haven’t yet invested in AMZN stock, it’s probably a better idea to wait for the stock to decrease so they can buy it at a discounted price later on when the price is down.
