Shortly after closing at a record high, Amazon reported earnings that missed Wall Street estimates — despite record first-quarter revenues of $75.5 billion. Amazon's outlook also put Wall Street on edge after disclosing plans to spend an estimated $4 billion on Covid-19 related efforts, including on protective gear for employees and higher wages for hourly teams.

Amazon shares sank 8% as a result on Friday, tanking its founder’s fortune. Bezos’ net worth fell $10.6 billion, erasing two weeks of gains from rising Amazon stock, which hit record highs amid surging consumer demand as a result of the pandemic. The firm’s second-quarter earnings forecast now includes the possibility of a net loss; the firm hasn't had a quarterly loss since 2015., was also hit.
