Amazon workers are preparing to unleash a wave of strikes at its British warehouses in coming days as a row over pay and conditions escalates.
Stock splits have been hot lately as some top companies have decided that dividing up their stocks into smaller portions will benefit the companies and their shareholders. Whether stock splits are advantageous to anyone is debatable, but historically, splitting the stock into smaller portions at cheaper prices does tend to achieve at least an initial jump in the price. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) both split their stocks in June, and both stocks are up around 10% since their respective stock splits as of this writing.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) just had a great quarter, and its stock is rising as a result. Amazon's growth rate is slowing. The core retail business continues to face a number of headwinds right now, including rampant inflation, energy costs that remain historically high, elevated transportation costs, and rising labor costs.
