Amazon's Trading Volume Hits $209.70 Billion Ranking Fourth Amid Tariff Concerns

On April 4, 2025, Amazon's trading volume reached $209.70 billion, ranking fourth in the day's stock market activity. Amazon's stock price fell by 4.15%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 12.76% over the past two days.

Recent tariffs on Chinese products are expected to significantly impact Amazon's annual profits, potentially reducing them by up to $10 billion. These tariffs will increase costs throughout the supply chain, which could lead to decreased profit margins for the company. The resulting financial strain may also affect discretionary retail sales and advertising revenues, further challenging Amazon's financial performance.

Despite these challenges, some analysts remain optimistic about Amazon's ability to navigate the tariff landscape. Eric Sheridan, for instance, has maintained a buy rating for Amazon, citing the company's resilience and strategic management in the face of potential financial impacts from recent tariff announcements. Goldman Sachs has also kept its buy rating for Amazon, although the company's market value has decreased significantly due to a tech stock sell-off triggered by the new tariffs.

Amazon's stock price has been under pressure due to bearish sentiment influenced by the new tariffs. On April 3, 2025, the stock price dropped by 8.98% to $178.41, reflecting the market's concerns about the potential impact of these tariffs on the company's financial health. However, some analysts believe that Amazon's strong market position and strategic adaptability could help it weather these challenges and continue to grow in the long term.
