A Wall Street analyst just put a rare 'sell' recommendation on Amazon's stock due to concerns about COVID-19's economic impact

R5 Capital downgraded Amazon's stock from a "buy" to "sell" rating on Monday, citing concerns of slowing growth and smaller profit margins amid COVID-19.

The bigger concern is that consumer spending could remain suppressed for a long period as the economic recovery is expected to take time, the note said.Wall Street has long been bullish about Amazon's stock, helping to push the company's market value up 30% this year alone to roughly $1.2 trillion. R5 Capital wrote in a note published on Monday that it's lowering its rating on Amazon to "sell" from "buy," over concerns of slowing growth and higher expenses amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The downgrade is an outlier among Wall Street analysts that mostly recommend buying Amazon's stock at the current price. Of the 46 analysts that track Amazon's stock, 43 have a buy rating and only 1 has a sell rating, according to FactSet.
