Somebody steal your fake name? You're a little prickly lately. I hear that's been going around... :-)
Nolo contendere; just playing Devil's Advocate. Re AMZN:
Operating income decreased to $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $6.9 billion in fourth quarter 2020.
Net income increased to $14.3 billion in the fourth quarter, or $27.75 per diluted share, compared with $7.2 billion, or
$14.09 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 net income includes a pre-tax valuation gain of
$11.8 billion included in non-operating income from our common stock investment in Rivian Automotive, Inc., which
completed an initial public offering in November. ( Exhibit #123 - why GAAP EPS is often useless )
RIVN 12/31/2021 was 103.69; 2/3/2022 is 60.36
Also revenue for Q4 2021 had a small miss.
