This excerpt taken from the AMZN 10-Q filed Oct 26, 2006.

We Have a Limited Operating History and Our Stock Price Is Highly Volatile

We have a relatively short operating history and a rapidly evolving and unpredictable business model. The trading price of our common stock fluctuates significantly. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as:

 

  •   general economic conditions;

 

  •   changes in interest rates;

 

  •   conditions or trends in the Internet and the e-commerce industry;

 

  •   fluctuations in the stock market in general and market prices for Internet-related companies in particular;

 

  •   quarterly variations in operating results;

 

  •   new products, services, innovations, and strategic developments by our competitors or us, or business combinations and investments by our competitors or us;

 

  •   changes in financial estimates by us or securities analysts and recommendations by securities analysts;

 

  •   changes in Internet regulation;

 

  •   changes in our capital structure, including issuance of additional debt or equity to the public;

 

  •   additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  •   corporate restructurings, including layoffs or closures of facilities;

 

  •   changes in the valuation methodology of, or performance by, other e-commerce companies; and

 

  •   transactions in our common stock by major investors and certain analyst reports, news, and speculation.

Any of these events may cause our stock price to rise or fall and may adversely affect our business and financing opportunities.

Future volatility in our stock price could force us to increase our cash compensation to employees or grant larger stock awards than we have historically, which could hurt our operating results or reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders, or both.
