In July 1994, Amazon was founded as an online bookstore by Jeff Bezos, with his parents investing almost $250,000 in the start-up. Within a few months, the business was already generating revenues of $20,000 per week.

On May 15, 1997, the company went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, offering its stock at $18 per share. Since then, Amazon has had 3 stock splits: once in 1998 and twice in 1999. Shortly after its IPO, the retailing mammoth has seen its stock skyrocket, despite difficult times caused by the dot-com crash.

Over the past decade, Amazon stock value has experienced tremendous growth, with its share price soaring from below $80 during the financial crisis in 2008, to over $2,000 only ten years later.

With Capital.com’s Amazon share price chart you can not only quickly view the current Amazon stock price, but also trace the company’s shares value in historic terms.

What once was an online bookstore, Amazon has grown to become one of the world’s most successful tech companies. Today, the business is engaged in a wide range of activities, with the main focus remaining on e-commerce, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital streaming. The company also manufactures and markets various consumer electronics, such as Amazon Kindle e-book, Fire TV, Fire tablet computers and Echo devices.

In regard to acquisitions, Amazon has taken over various types of businesses and start-ups since its inception in 1994. It has bought companies that helped Amazon improve its business processes and allowed to enter new markets.

As of 2019, its most notable acquisitions included Ring ($1,8 billion), a home security and smart home company; Zappos ($1.2 billion), an online shoe and clothing retailer; PillPack ($1 billion), an online pharmaceutical company, and Kiva Systems ($775 million), a mobile robotic fulfilment systems manufacturer.

However, the company’s most expensive acquisition to date remains Whole Foods Market, a multinational supermarket chain, for which the company paid $13.7 billion in 2017.

In September 2018, Amazon became the world’s second company to hit $1 trillion in market capitalisation, close on the heels of Apple Inc, which had celebrated this important milestone only a month earlier.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
