Amazon stock on track to snap longest losing streak in 3 years, for now

Shares of Amazon.com Inc. bounced 1.1% in premarket trading Friday, which for now puts them on track to snap a seven-session losing streak, which was the longest since it fell for eight-straight days through Aug. 5, 2019. the bounce comes as futures for the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose 0.6% and futures for the S&P 500 gained 0.6%. The ecommerce giant’s stock had plunged 25.95% over the past seven sessions, the worst seven-day performance since it plummeted 26.04% over the seven-day stretch that ended Nov. 19, 2008. Meanwhile, keep in mind that over the past four days, the stock rose at least 1% in early intraday trading, before reversing course to lose ground.
