Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Is "An Overall Piece," Says Jim Cramer

Reuters had previously reported on June 22 that Amazon.com’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime Day would serve as a “litmus test” to gauge the spending power of U.S. shoppers. The sales event, going live earlier than usual, is centered around household basics, back-to-school needs, and perishable groceries, instead of “carefree splurges”.

William Stern, CEO at U.S.-based small business lender Cardiff, was of the opinion that people do not have the money right now, and so Prime Day is not going to be about “buying big TVs ​or fun stuff this year. It’s for buying toilet paper and garbage bags on sale. Families are literally waiting for these discounts just to buy regular everyday things because their bank accounts are empty.”

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) provides its customers with a range of products and services. It offers advanced tools for AR and VR developers through its Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform.
