Justin Post has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Amazon’s strategic initiatives and growth potential. One of the key reasons is the launch of Project Kuiper, which remains a priority for Amazon’s management despite their focus on cost efficiency. The project involves deploying satellites to provide broadband internet, with consumer services expected to start by late 2025, although the exact timing is uncertain.
Additionally, the potential market for satellite communications is significant, with an estimated $40 billion revenue opportunity by 2030. Amazon’s share of this market could translate into substantial revenue, especially if they capture a 30% consumer share. Furthermore, Project Kuiper is expected to synergize with Amazon’s logistics network and generate additional revenue from AWS’s enterprise and government clients. These factors, combined with the potential for strong long-term margins, underpin the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Citizens JMP also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $285.00 price target.
