Amazon’s profits are down despite great fourth quarter earnings.

Amazon posted a 34% increase in quarterly sales (compare this to the decline in sales for both BGI and BN) but their profits were down 51%.

Increased sales of electronics, lower prices and discount shipping program Amazon Prime crimped profit margins, Szkutak said.
