BofA analyst Justin Post raised the firm’s price target on Amazon.com (AMZN) to $257 from $255 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following a “solid” quarter and guidance for Q1 revenue of $151B-$155.5B with $14B-$18B in profit that was slightly below the Street at $158.4B and $18.4B, respectively. Amazon’s retail business continues to show strong margin improvement with a lower cost to serve, while the firm continues to view AWS as “the best positioned AI service in our coverage group,” arguing that Amazon’s three-layered AI-stack with Trainium chips “could be underappreciated.”
