Amazon (AMZN, $3,201.91) gets Pivotal price target hike to Wall Street-high
Amazon shares got a price target hike to a Wall Street-high of $4,500 from $3,925, from an analyst at Pivotal Research .
Analyst Michael Levine mentioned that Amazon's advertising was only 5% of revenue, but is a "far greater contributor" to overall non-Amazon Web Services EBIT margins than Wall Street /investors appreciate. “…if advertising was viewed as a stand-alone business unit ... it would represent well north of 300% of 2020E non-AWS EBIT", noted Levine.
Levine kept a buy rating on the e-commerce behemoth’s shares.
According to the analyst, there is "massive upside" to estimates by fiscal year 2024.
Levine also estimated that at least 85% to 90% of the Amazon business is sponsored listings. He recognizes substantial potential in that an advertiser pays for higher placement within the sort order, the user stays on Amazon, and Amazon gets to keep the transaction and transaction data.
