Trading News - How AI Is Boosting Amazon Earnings
A central pillar of Amazon's robust growth has been its unabashed embrace of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The pioneering company continues to lead the way in this technology, deploying AI in every facet of its business. Amazon uses AI for a myriad of operations, such as product recommendations based on customers' past purchasing history, fraud detection, warehouse automation, and much more.
A prime example of Amazon's utilization of AI is Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS, with its commanding 32% share of the cloud market, has proven to be a potent catalyst for the company's earnings. Amazon's AI assistant, Alexa, which has permeated several product categories, further underpins AWS's impressive revenue stream, making Amazon an attractive prospect for investors aiming to profit from the AI growth trajectory.
Amazon's Earnings Outlook
Amazon Q4 earnings 2023 forecasted to rise with with increase in operating margins from 2.4% to 3.9%. Surge in profitability has been echoed by John Colantuoni, an analyst at investment firm Jefferies, who has described Amazon as a "core beneficiary" of AI growth. This sentiment is mirrored in his decision to raise his per-share price target on Amazon to $150 from $135, pointing to an optimistic outlook for Amazon's earnings.
The company's commitment to AI research and development is projected to uncover new ways to integrate this revolutionary technology into its business model, which should further fuel earnings growth.
