Amazon stock plunges after company issues disappointing revenue forecast

Shares of Amazon (AMZN) dropped after the company revealed a revenue forecast that missed analyst estimates as consumers curb online spending in the face of economic uncertainty and a return to in-person activities. The company also reported a loss on its investment in electric-vehicle maker Rivian Automotive.
Amazon was the last of Big Tech names to unveil quarterly earnings this reporting season. The tech behemoths cloud-computing platform Amazon Web Services (AWS) was a bright spot during a lackluster quarter, but revenue failed to offset weakness in the company's core retail business.
Amazon's stock lost nearly 10% in post-market trading as investors weighed the results.
