Amazon stock drops 3.5% Monday, marking its longest losing streak in 13 years
Shares of Amazon.com Inc. sank in afternoon trading Monday, putting them on track to suffer the longest losing streak in 13 years, as the triple threat of disappointing earnings, regulatory concerns and the broader stock-market selloff has weighed heavily on the e-commerce and cloud giant’s valuation.The stock AMZN, -3.18% slumped 3.1% in afternoon trade as it heads for an eighth straight decline. That would be the longest losing streak since the nine-day stretch ending July 14, 2006.
The losing streak began the day before Amazon reported a second-quarter profit that missed expectations.
