SEATTLE (AP) - Amazon.com Inc. said Thursday its fourth-quarter earnings fell 51 percent from a year ago in the all-important holiday season, hurt by higher tax-related charges.
The Internet retailer's results were just ahead of Wall Street's expectations, but shares edged down in after-hours trading.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, Amazon.com said it earned $98 million, or 23 cents per share, compared with $199 million, or 47 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
