2014第二季度亚马逊亏损1.26亿
Amazon has reported a loss of $126m in the second quarter and warned that sales could slow in the current quarter.
2014第二季度亚马逊亏损1.26亿美元,并警告本季度销售额可能放缓。
Amazon forecast third quarter sales of between $19.7bn and $21.5bn, which could mean sales growth of as little as 15% - well down on previous quarters.
Amazon has traditionally survived on thin profit margins, but investors have been reassured by strong sales growth.
But today s warning over sales has spooked investors.
In after hours trading in the US shares slumped by 6%.
Digital content
Amazon has been investing heavily to build up its business, including the launch last month of its first smartphone - the Fire Phone.
It has been developing digital content including computer games and TV shows.
In its conference call the company said that producing its own TV shows would cost $100m in the third quarter.
Amazon has also been spending money on improving its delivery systems which includes expanding Sunday delivery to 18 cities in the United States.
