9. Amazon's market value shrank by nearly half due to the decline in technology stocks

Amazon's market value has shrunk from $1.7 trillion at the beginning of the year to about $834 billion. Much of Amazon’s misfortune is related to the economic and macro environment. Last month, Amazon began its largest corporate layoffs in its history, aiming to cut up as many as 10,000 employees. Even Amazon's cloud computing division, often a refuge for investors, recorded its weakest revenue growth to date in the third quarter. Some analysts have lowered their forecasts for Amazon's annual revenue growth from 26% to 20%. However, Mahani said he is still optimistic about Amazon's long-term prospects, calling it a "buffet-style purchase" because of its wide variety of businesses. (ENECNEWS)
