November 3, 2022: -Amazon has exited the trillion-dollar club. On Tuesday, shares of the e-retailer are coming down 5.9%, which falls for a fifth straight day and closes at their lowest since April 2020. The sell-off has erased all of the stock’s pandemic increase.

It’s the first time Amazon’s market cap has been less than $1 trillion since April 2020. The stock had decreased 42% in 2022 and is on speed for its worst year since 2008 when it declined 45%. The only worse year was the dot-com boom of 2000 when the company lost 80% of its value.

Amazon has been the second-worst performer in the Big Tech group this year, behind Facebook parent Meta, which has plummeted 72%. Meta told investors last week that revenue in the fourth quarter would likely decline for the third period.

Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
