The news has been pretty much all bad in the retail sector lately. Big brick and mortar retailers like Kohl's (KSS) and Macy's (M) have been some of the worst performers in the S&P 500 lately. Under Armour (UA) plunged following an unexpected revenue and earnings miss. UPS is down over 10% from just this week's highs following an earnings miss of its own. The Retail Sector ETF (XRT) is down more than 10% off of its 52 week highs.But Amazon (AMZN) - the company that has a bigger market cap than its half dozen closest retail competitors combined - is set to report Thursday after the closing bell. Amazon is a different beast than any other retailer since it's been the beneficiary of global move towards online sales. Amazon is expected to grow revenue significantly in the most recent quarter but can it buck the recent retail trend? Retailers are already missing earnings and revenue estimates. Holiday sales were weak. All indications are that the entire sector is struggling.My guess is that Amazon will see a similar result. Yes, it'll keep seeing revenue growth but I think it'll fall short of already high expectations. At 56 times forward earnings, Amazon doesn't have a lot of room for error. I think the company will continue to do better than most retailers but I also think it will, to some degree, fall victim to the overall weakness in the retail sector.Leave a comment below and tell me if you think Amazon will report disappointing earnings.
