Non-store sales point to 12% Y/Y growth in the US for 2Q vs. 28% in 1Q. Similarly, growth in Europe slowed from 40% in 1Q to 16% for APR and MAY. Alongside soft macro and credit card data, Prime Day growth was muted at +8% Y/Y as per various sources, falling a touch short of expectations. In light of decelerating retail trends, 3Q consensus revenue estimates look high, calling for sequential growth despite the pull forward of Prime Day. We see risk to short-term revenue guidance. We model $114.4B for 2Q and $113.6B for 3Q.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Adding to that research team’s concerns is that consumer trends toward product categories definitely changed as society acclimated to the pandemic.

As<i>The Atlantic</i>pointed out last year, a “clear historical precedent for a traumatic, drawn-out collective experience that scars the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFG\">American</a> populace is the Great Depression.
