there was during that day so on amazon's service. so that's all making up for the, the real problems that we're seeing at amazon in terms of its growth. sorry. so amazon also is preparing to hi there, the subscription price for prime. what is driving that decision? well, i mentioned the challenges that amazon is facing, and it's really trying to spend its way out of those problems. for example, there's a real recruitment squeeze in the united states. companies are struggling to get people. amazons laid its money down and has been offering a signing on bonuses to try and get people to come work for it. also, the supply chain problems that i'm talking about. mean that delivering goods to people at the sort of pace that people expect from amazon has been tricky and has been spending more on deliveries to try and make up for that problem and take on the extra costs that it's facing. it's now looking to it's millions of prime subscribers and it's increasing prices just in the united states. an extra $2.00 a month or an extra $20.00 per ye

amazon. what's behind that? yes, i real tailored to tech joins amazon has got its own problems, you know, problems that are being seen by all sorts of companies and supply chain problems and such. and actually amazon is, was the thing. it's growth slowing, it really well at the height of the pandemic when people were locked in at home and, you know, they, all they were doing was just ordering offline and getting stuff sent to them. but since people have an acid about once again and started to see that slow down, but is made up for any pitfalls with really good performances in other parts of its business, for example, it's ad sales arisen by about a 3rd during the last quarter. what. what amazon does, it allows brands to pay extra so you can see their products 1st, when you sit on amazon's website is also seen as cloud computing business d very well, that's growing by 40 percent during the last quarter. and that's really one of the big engines of new growth for amazon, it's behind, you know, netflix is website, b

ah, amazon takes what facebook loses. the market values of the tech tightened swing by hundreds of billions of dollars after 2 very different earnings reports, or what the wild ride shows us about big tech. also coming up the winter olympics are getting underway in beijing. but will cobra 19 spoiled the party? i'm chelsea delaney and berlin, welcome to shell. 2 of the world's biggest tech companies are facing diverging fortunes just one day after facebook, parent meadows valuation fell by a record $237000000000.00. amazon is on track again, almost as much in market value, things to, and yearly 20 percent stock rally. and after hours trading, that's after the e commerce giant that its profit doubled from earlier to $14300000000.00. the earnings rise comes just as amazon prepares to hike its prime subscription prices in the us. amazon serge bucks a trends seen in the wake of metaphor, where a number of tech stocks are heavy losses. now let's get more on this from our report of robots who joins me in the studio. so rob, we'v

what did amazon give us? well, at first blush $14.3 billion, not bad except $11.8 billion of that is from rivian. if you take a look at their net income excluding that rivian impact is $2.5 billion so it's more of a 65% decline year on year versus their net operating income a year ago. google, on the other hand, 65% increase so to me when you take a look at one of these making nine times what the other one is they obviously are in a lot of the same businesses. some of them are very good and strong businesses. some of them are clearly not as good, and amazon is the one carrying the weight of some of the businesses that are not profitable so i would be inclined to fade amazon i go long google. you can choose a number of ways. if you fade it you could sell it and do a structure similar to the one i'm recommending on google and what i'm recommending on google is that after the earnings came out we saw options premiums decline you can buy longer data call options and sell some near data ones against it. normally y

this is good news for shareholders, but another reason to avoid amazon. >> mike is not in a pro-amazon mood tonight carter, how did the peloton chart look >> stay with the things that are funny. i can picture my grandmother on her exercise bike and listen, there's nothing new here that's it. >> well said for everything options action, check out our website, sign up for our newsletter here's what's up next. >> still to come, pair trades part two we'll look at a couple of commodities on contradictory courses. then we'll stop with the alliterations. promise. plus, calling all options action fans reach into your pocket grab your phone and tweet us your question at options action. if it's nice, we'll answer it on enptnsctn tu wh oio aiorerns. thinkorswim® by td ameritrade is more than a trading platform. it's an entire trading experience. with innovation that lets you customize interfaces, charts and orders to your style of trading. personalized education to expand your perspective. and a dedicated trade desk of expert-level support. that will push you to be even better. and just might chan

amazon, what really stood out to you with these numbers? >> for me the cloud numbers were astounding. we had been calling going into the quarter that it would remain strong and we had seen enough leading indicators with cloud cents being absolutely phenomenal. caroline: moving from the business indicator to the consumer indicator in the high costs they are seeing under inflationary pressures, they can pass that onto to a strong consumer? >> absolutely. this was the big thing. the amazon prime membership increase and fell straight to the bottom line. this kind of profit helps the bottom line more than people anticipate. romaine: amazon is of course no stranger in spending a lot of money to achieve whatever the goals are here. does it bother you at all the money that we are seeing go out the door and the costs pressure? >> that has been the playbook if you follow them for any length of time. it's like a roller coaster. we expect those kinds of investments to continue. but what is more remarkable here, talking about it earlier, the present pow

we need | to remember, amazon is actually not a retailer. amazon is a technology company.s of investments, we are increasingly seeing amazon reliant on selling its services as opposed to just shifting product. so if you look at profitability figures, and is and is usually profitable now. they reported over $30 billion in net profits, making them one of the most profitable companies in the world. you know, it has taken a long time to get there, they very much played the long game, but they are making money now. so when we look to the future, it is going to be amazon web services please pose cloud computing arm which is the cash cow. it is the reason whyjeff bezos has been succeeded as ceo. also interesting, we have heard about advertising, and of course prime subscription fees as well, playing an increasingly important role in terms of generating both top and bottom growth. qm. terms of generating both top and bottom growth.- terms of generating both top and bottom growth. 0k, we are auoin to and bottom growth. 0k, we are going to leave _ and bottom growth. 0k, we are going

on amazon itself.e prosiding a better customer experience. we're having more reare loibl delivery times, making sure our products are in stock, launching new variations that these customers immediate, and so amazon's really excited at the prospect of it. liz: i think you're being very diplomatic because, i'll tell you something, we know that amazon has looked at third party products on their site, and is it too rough to say knocked them off? you know, there has been that accusation, as you know. so in a way it feels like you're protecting some of these third party businesses. >> absolutely. i think you know what's really exciting and interesting is that these third party sellers prior to aggregators like ourselves coming in didn't have an opportunity to actually sell their brand off and cash in on the hard work and definition -- dedication that they put in to building these brands. often times i'm going to build this brand, and the only amount of money i'm going to is the profit at the end e of the day

amazon or we wouldn't exist under amazon is basically our lifeline log lim thought on amazon takes care of storage, shipping and returns for yahoo. bah, in return, it takes commission for every euro of sales who bought her house to hand over $0.30 to amazon. in 2019 amazon mead, almost $60000000000.00 is from these commissions alone problem, as people will say, well, it's a 2 sided tray. the retailers don't have to work with amazon and i would get that's not really true. amazon is now 50 percent of all e commerce. so to not be on amazon is really to not have an e commerce offering, and that just isn't an option for most people. germany's online trade association has surveyed almost 1000 retailers about their experience with amazon. nearly 80 percent of respondents saw amazon as a difficult partner that dictated prices and encourage dependency on the platform. in may 2021, amazon cut who backers, inventory, half of his products were removed, resulting in a 6 figure los in turnover. the kinds of foster just manage business. you don't sleep very well when suddenly the foundation of your bu

amazon blew everyone out of the water. if you think about how they did compared to meta, if amazon hold onto their gains of 14% which we saw post-trade yesterday, it will add 200 billion to its capita today. 0.7% higher in europe and energy also leading the gains higher. the only ones that are weaker still gaining overall is consumer staples. then we look at yields in europe. there is a lot of movement in the euro and that is changing a lot of the corporate's we are watching. tom: in terms of intesa, they are returning 22 billion euros after their meetings. they are doubling profits this year. and carlsberg, the estimator that beat 2021 but they also reported on the challenges around input costs as well and the continued drag from the pandemic. coming up 1% for the drinks maker. we are also looking at technologies and it is remarkable on what we are seeing, the split between meta and amazon. almost making up in terms of the rally for the share price, amazon making up for the record loss we saw from meta. doing out see the

pretty gargantuan move for amazon. i have to go home and check my prime subscription and what i am paying for it. dani: it is only the u.s. that will see this price increase. 15% or so, $20 a year. most people are thinking that that more or less is expected for inflationary pressure. it is helpful for them because essentially thir retail business -- their retail business lost money. great topline growth really got them out of that hole so i think people were really pleased with that cloud performance given the $17 billion business. it is growing at 40%. people are worried that google and microsoft would be eating into that dollar position but it seems to be going great on cloud. for the first time, they revealed that appetizing revenue for the business growing at within 30% a year, the size of facebook already, something people have been wanting them to reveal for a while. it encourages a lot more growth in that. i think people feel it's going to be a bit more robust given what we have seen elsewhere. dani: some inflat

amazon kicks off at the bottom of the hour. joining us tonight, guy adami, tim seymour, karen finerman and dan nathan deirdre bosa has the very latest >> amazon first raising the price of prime yearly will now be $139 from $119. this is the first price increase since 2018 and goes into effect after march 25th for existing members. huge net income number for amazon that was largely thanks to rivian, 14.3 net income, $11.8 billion came from that stake that could lead to volatility on the pnl in quarters to come. in terms of segments, online sales grew 1% year over year but broke out advertising services for the first time a nearly $10 billion business. to give you context that is bigger than alphabet's youtube business, which many have been fawning over earlier this week i asked about any apple privacy impact, essentially said there was none, the opportunity for advertisers is unchanged and amazon helped by first party data, like alphabet, unlike meta aws, the cloud unit, grew 40%. the rate of growth in this unit is increasing, e

we think amazon is on fire to continue.ot of people are not waiting for stocks let's but something like spinning off aws. is that a conversation or is that on the periphery? >> that has come up but we don't think it's likely. they are 70% of their profit so they want to invest in the retail part of their business. it limits their ability to really dominate the infrastructure needed and the transportation they need to fulfill these online sales. jonathan: why do we keep asking this question, what is a keep coming up? >> you could argue that amazon is working on each of its burgeoning segments. lisa: how much do you get concerned that amazon gets a lot of income from another strategy and that allows them to lower prices to knock others out of the business? this one argument has pushed concerns and is being shrugged off every year. jonathan: it makes sense. i'm with you. lisa: you're going to tell me i'm cynical? jonathan: absolutely. amazon up 11.1%. the bond yields look like this, down one basis point on the 10 year. tom: i'

amazon, you mentioned. does it make sense to you or what did you get as far as the read through from facebook, for other growth type names? or is it facebook specific >> i don't think it's facebook specific it makes sense on a couple different levels not to say it's a perfectly appropriate calibrated response. it makes sense for anything digital ad supported, because i do think a lot of the issues facebook is dealing with is going toee mean that others dependent on the ad eco system may face similar pressures because facebook of course is a leader in that area. if you're snap, if you're twitter, if you're pinterest, you might actually have already been having the struggles, and amazon's ad business as well more broadly, i think we keep getting these waves or oh, i guess there was more front loading of activity in the pandemic i guess the digital businesses, we did give them too much credit it's wave after wave of recognition of that. doesn't mean it keeps going down, but that's why investors are hesitant to

so there are various different layers of growth amazon has had and structurally every new layer for amazongoing to be more profitable. so in the longer term that will be a very positive thing. caroline: but in many ways they have been adding these layers in organically as well as organically. there have been purchases made by different businesses. will they be able in their future, whether it be meta, amazon, alphabet, all of them have almost become too large for the regulators. rohit: i agree. there is a lot of regulatory capital to give. and what will happen probably is through organic growth through a nonprogressive hiring. a very limited amount of major m&a over the next couple years. until we see we are on the others of this regulatory realm where the service area each of these three areas provide is increasing by way of how the doj is looking at them. i think facebook probably jumped over a line nine -- over a land mine a couple years ago maybe alphabet and amazon have some kind of regulatory things to get and we should expect that. romaine: that is the u.s. side. we have also seen p

and amazon is unlikely to agree to that so that it might well be kind of a showdown right the amazon union kind of battle has been played out in different cities throughout the country and it's ongoing so what are they telling you in terms of how they plan to fight it? i guess the unions. well, the unions are not saying much actually about their specific tactics. they haven't even officially come out and said anything one way or the other about how they're going to respond to this facility. so there are a lot of tactical and strategic questions for the unions about how they go after amazon and so for the moment, they're playing their cards close to the vest, but i do anticipate that they will go pretty hard at this. okay. now is this type of agreement you were talking about the mou? typical and i guess staying quiet at the stage. is that typical? i'm sorry, kristen. i i missed your last but i know tech problems. the mou the agreement and it being kind of i don't want to say secretive but you know on the quiet side in this early stage, is that typical or is that kind of a deal agreeme

have a close look at amazon.ook at this extraordinary performance here. what's -- it must have been an absolutely stellar report, susan. susan: yeah. i mean, have you seen this type of volatility, stu, with companies worth $2, 3 trillion moving 25%, is 11% in amazon's case today in the opening minutes. so, look, a day after the biggest value wipeout in stock market history, we had met a that losing $230 billion or so in market cap, you're now looking at $150 billion in value creation thanks to this 10% rally that we're seeing, and that's slightly less than the $200 billion that apple added in one single day last week with after their earnings. but you had amazon, i mean, blowing away estimates. i think i had to do a double check when i saw those numbers crossing the tape, making 10 times more profits than anticipated in the final three months of last year. record sales over that three month period. cloud was growing at 40%, and finally broke out advertising revenue. advertising sales, $31 billion last year. you k
