Online Giant Falls Short

 Amazon is falling short on what analysts expected in revenue for the first time in three years. 

The online marketplace reported revenue of just over 113-billion dollars last quarter.  That was about one-point-four billion less than expected.  The company also said it expects weaker numbers in the third quarter.  That led shares of the company to drop about five-percent in after-hours trading.  Amazon did beat expectations in earnings, making 15-dollars-and-12 cents a share.  Wall Street was expecting that to be 12-dollars-and-30 cents.  Amazon’s revenue did grow by 27-percent year over year.
