DBS Group initiated coverage on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) with a Buy rating and a price target of $150.00, highlighting the company’s leading position in e-commerce, its growing prime membership base, and growth opportunities for both AWS and its online advertising business.
The analyst says Amazon’s retail segment is still attempting to regain profitability after facing macroeconomic challenges, but noted that the U.S. e-commerce industry is projected to grow at 12.4% CAGR – and that Amazon holds a 39% market share in US e-commerce, with opportunities to capture more of the untapped market.
The analyst added:
The company is set to report its Q2/23 earnings on July 27. Street estimates stand at $0.35 for EPS and $131.16 billion for revenues.
