Laura Martin has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Amazon’s robust AWS revenue growth and margin expansion expected in the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, the record-breaking Prime Days anticipated in the third quarter of 2025 are likely to positively impact Amazon’s financial outlook.
Furthermore, the company has moved past its peak-tariff challenges, and the integration of generative AI is structurally reducing costs within Amazon’s logistics operations. Improvements in labor productivity are also noted as a positive indicator for potential share price appreciation. Lastly, Amazon’s valuation is considered attractive, as it trades at a lower enterprise value to revenue and EBITDA multiple compared to other major technology firms.
In another report released today, HSBC also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $256.00 price target.
