Investors are also hoping to get more details on Amazon's COVID-related spending, which the company previously said would top $4 billion for the quarter. $1.48, according to consensus estimates compiled by FactSet, vs. $5.22 last year $81.4 billion, according to consensus estimates compiled by FactSet, vs. $63.

Amazon is widely seen as one of the biggest beneficiaries of COVID-19. Stay-at-home orders and store closures across the country have prompted more people to shop online.

On top of that, investors believe Amazon's higher margin businesses, like advertising, saw continued growth during the quarter, helping expand its profitability and balance the $4 billion in planned COVID-19 related expenses. The report follows CEO Jeff Bezos's first-ever Congressional hearing appearance on Wednesday.
