Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Amazon, trading under the name Amazon dot Com, open today
at two hundred thirty three United States dollars and thirty
five cents after closing yesterday at two hundred thirty one
United States dollars and forty four cents. Today's trading volume
is just over twenty six million shares, which is noticeably
below its average daily volume typically around thirty five million shares,

(00:23):
hinting at somewhat lighter than usual investor activity as earning
season approaches. Right now, Amazon stock is hovering near the
high end of its fifty two week range, which has
spanned from one hundred fifty one United States dollars and
sixty one cents to two hundred forty two United States
dollars and fifty two cents. That marks a robust period

(00:43):
of growth powered by stellar financials and aggressive expansion in
artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Recently, the market has been
a buzz due to upcoming earnings scheduled in just a
couple of days. Wall Street is expecting another strong performance
with antisay ciccipated earnings per share above one United States
dollar and thirty cents and revenue growth of over eight

(01:06):
percent year over year. There was also notable insider activity,
with founder Jeffrey Bezos selling more than two point six
million shares for roughly six hundred nine million United States dollars,
slightly reducing his personal ownership. Yet this move appears to
have had minimal negative impact on analysts sentiment or the
stock's momentum. Major funds such as Bridges Investment Management Incorporated,

(01:30):
have added tens of thousands of Amazon shares to their
portfolios in recent weeks, reflecting strong institutional confidence. Analyst coverage
remains overwhelmingly positive. Out of nearly fifty research firms, forty
five rate the stock as a buy, and several have
recently increased their twelve month price targets, with the consensus

(01:50):
target now between two hundred and fifty four and two
hundred fifty six United States dollars. Some of the most
bullish firms, such as Bank of America Securities, have set
price targets as high as two hundred sixty five United
States dollars, projecting a further upside of around ten percent
from today's levels. A final factor shaping sentiment is Amazon's

(02:11):
position as both a cloud leader and a major beneficiary
of growing artificial intelligence investment across the technology sector. Despite
some uncertainty from insider sales and slowing trading volume, the
company's operational execution, analyst enthusiasm, and sector tailwinds continue to
make Amazon a closely watched growth story heading into its

(02:34):
earnings report this week
