What happens if Amazon runs out of stock?
When you run out of stock, Amazon will automatically remove your listing, marking it as “inactive”. And when you don't have an active listing, you can't sell!
Obviously, you'll lose sales, but Amazon can also take away your Buy Box positions and even suspend your seller account if this situation becomes a trend. But don't panic. With a proactive attitude, iron-clad strategy, and a dash of creativity, you can keep your Amazon inventory in line, starting now.
D.A. Davidson analyst Tom Forte made the case that a breakup of Amazon would be good for its shareholders. In a scenario under which Amazon is split into three units — direct retail, third-party retail and AWS — the stock would be worth up to $193 a share, by Forte's calculation, on a sum-of-the-parts basis.
If Amazon is out of stock of a particular product, but the supplier has inventory available, then Amazon will usually get the product shipped to their warehouse within a few days. However, if the supplier is also out of stock, then Amazon may have to wait a week or two for new inventory to arrive.

No. Amazon (AMZN) isn't expected to split its stock in 2024 because it only went through this process two years ago. Amazon's last stock split happened in June 2022. However, stock market analysts believe it could be a possibility over the longer term if the company's share price continues to rise.
On Wednesday, Amazon stock reached a market cap of $2 trillion for the first time ever. The stock is now up 25% in 2024 and moving ahead of analyst predictions by a wide margin.

Amazon penalties

It doesn't matter if you own a stock before or after a split because the value won't change. A stock split is purely a mathematical decision that does not reflect the valuation of a company. If a company is going to perform well, it will before or after a split. If it won't, then it won't even after a split.
