Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Amazon stock is trading at two hundred thirty one United
States dollars and one cent as of this morning, a
slight decrease from the previous close, but still within its
recent upward trend. Trading volume yesterday was around twenty eight
million shares, lower than average, which often signals less volatility
and supports the notion that investors are holding the stock

(00:20):
rather than actively trading it in high volumes. Over the
past two weeks, Amazon's share price has climbed nearly three percent,
highlighting resilience and steady demand even as the broader market
has shown pockets of uncertainty. Major news shaping sentiment around
Amazon includes strong second quarter results, with the company's revenue
increasing around nine percent compared to last year, reaching over

(00:43):
one hundred sixty two billion United States dollars. This strong
financial delivery has prompted several analysts to raise their price
targets for Amazon. Steifel Nicolos now projects a target of
two hundred sixty two United States dollars, up from their
previous estimate, and UBS recently raised its estimate to two
hundred seventy one United States dollars. The consensus target among

(01:06):
analysts is now around two hundred fifty six United States
dollars to two hundred fifty nine United States dollars, implying
a meaningful upside from the current price. These moves reflect
broad analyst optimism following Amazon's robust sales and a healthy
advertising business, as well as sustained growth in cloud computing
through Amazon Web Services. In terms of company developments, Amazon

(01:31):
is closing its artificial intelligence laboratory in Shanghai, which comes
amid rising geopolitical tension between the United States and China.
There is also speculation that Jeff Bezos is contemplating a
bid for CNBC, the American cable news network, after meeting
with former President Donald Trump. These strategic developments show Amazon

(01:51):
adjusting its international footprint and exploring new media opportunities. Market
valuations remain notable. Amazon is trading at a price to
earnings ratio of about thirty seven, which is significantly higher
than the consumer sector average, underscoring its preceived future growth.
Potential Investors are watching Amazon's ongoing investments in robotics, artificial intelligence,

(02:13):
and rural delivery expansion, all set to support long term
cost savings and competitive edge. Despite some insider selling, notably
by Jeff Bezos. Analyst's sentiment remains strongly positive, with most
maintaining by ratings and only a few suggesting caution.
