    The stock lost 5.5% to close at $96.79, giving it a $987.4 billion market valuation. The price of the stock fell to its lowest point since April 2020, and it has fallen 42% this year. Amazon’s market capitalization reached a high of around $1.9 trillion on November 18.

    Amazon had its fifth consecutive down session, losing roughly 20% throughout that time. The Nasdaq 100 Index, however, decreased 1% on Tuesday.
