[MARKET BIAS: BULLISH] [SESSION: REGULAR] [CATALYST: ANALYST UPGRADE] Amazon Web Services (AWS) achieved 37% growth in the latest quarter, a key driver for renewed Wall Street enthusiasm for Amazon.com, Inc. ($AMZN+WL). Analysts highlighted accelerating cloud growth, improved profitability, and expanding backlogs as positive indicators for the e-commerce giant.
Analysts from RBC Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have all voiced increased confidence in Amazon's outlook. A significant factor cited is the growing contribution of AI-related revenue, which Bank of America estimates at 15% of AWS sales, supported by enhanced infrastructure and demand for AI services. This suggests that investments in artificial intelligence may not significantly hinder overall returns as previously feared.
