Amazon Stock Fell on Weak Q1 Guidance. Can AI Reverse Its Slowing Revenue Growth?

Amazon Andy Jassy Amazon.com Inc.

Amazon (AMZN) released its fourth-quarter earnings yesterday after the markets closed. As has been the case for the last couple of quarters, the company’s guidance spooked investors.
