Citizens reiterates Amazon stock rating on AI model growth
Citizens has reaffirmed its Market Outperform rating and set a price target of $315.00 for Amazon.com stock (NASDAQ:AMZN). The company's decision to maintain this positive outlook is based on the company's growth in the AI model sector. According to a Wall Street Journal report, OpenAI experienced an 18% quarter-over-quarter revenue increase to $6.7 billion, while Anthropic more than doubled its revenue to $11.6 billion in the same period.
This strong growth in AI models is seen as a positive for cloud providers, AWS and GCP, as it indicates that their training investments are yielding returns through inference. Amazon's current market cap stands at $2.79 trillion, and its PEG ratio of 0.23 suggests that the stock is trading at a favorable valuation relative to its growth potential.
Citizens' analyst, Andrew Boone, highlighted that the growth of frontier models is a positive sign for AWS and GCP, as it suggests that there will be a continued tight demand for compute resources in the near term. The company's market cap and attractive PEG ratio further underscore Amazon's compelling valuation compared to its growth prospects.
