Economics, Inflation, Data Analysis, Amazon, Profit MarginsAbstract
This research explores the relationship between inflation and Amazon's profit margins, with a focus on how economic fluctuations impact the company's profitability. By analyzing both net and gross profit margins alongside inflation rates, the study seeks to understand how Amazon navigates inflationary pressures. The findings suggest that while inflation initially appears to increase profit margins, there is a nuanced dynamic, particularly in the company's shift toward higher-margin service sales. Using a combination of financial reports and real-time market data, the research aims to provide insights for business leaders, economists, and investors looking to enhance strategic decision-making in response to inflation.
