Amazon monthly share price on the Nasdaq stock exchange 2010-2025
The price of Amazon shares traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange fluctuated significantly but increased for the most part during the period between 2010 and 2025, peaking at 237.68 U.S. dollar per share in January 2025.
Expansion during the pandemic
Due to the rise of online shopping worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic, Amazon's share prices saw an increase as the company experienced dramatic growth. As a result, the company's net sales revenue increased by almost 400 billion U.S. dollars between 2019 to 2024, growing ever since. However, the surge in Amazon's operations significantly increased the company's fulfillment expenses and shipping costs after 2020. The shift towards offline shopping and cost increases after the pandemic resulted in significant layoffs in 2022.
Amazon Web Services
Amazon is not only the world's most valuable retailer but also the leader in the cloud computing industry through Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is a platform that offers storage, servers, and networking to individuals, businesses, and organizations. Amazon's success is driven by its excellence in diverse sectors, but AWS stands as the primary source of profit. The cloud service has consistently grown in profitability, generating nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars in profit in 2024.
