On Monday, Amazon.com shares got price target hikes from RBC Capital Markets and Baird analysts. As the e-commerce behemoth experienced solid consumer demand during the covid-19 lockdown.
RBC analysts raised their share-price target to $3,300 from $2,700. They kept their outperform rating unchanged. RBC’s U.S. online shopping survey revealed that 64% of Amazon customers make at least two purchases per month, higher than 54% a year earlier.
Baird analysts boosted their share price target to $2,750 from $2,550. They maintained outperform rating on the stock. Baird cited “generally strong” e-commerce data through May, as well as “positive Amazon-specific checks”, as factors behind their raise in Q2 revenue and operating income estimates above consensus. “Amazon has reopened warehouses to third-party inventory, resumed selling products in non-essential categories, and in late April, restarted advertising on some large platforms such as Facebook,” Baird wrote.
