Amazon’s actions (AMZN) fell on Monday when the Raymond James broker reduced the actions of the electronic commerce giant.
Amazon actions were recently out of 4%, exceeding the broad decreases in US actions. (Read Investopedia’s The coverage of today’s operation here.) The uncertainty related to the rate weighed on the main indexes, and Raymond James analysts in a Monday note said that Wall Street is underestimating how much Amazon earnings can be pressured by rates and their investments in rural deliveries.
The analysts replaced their “strong purchase” rating with a “higher performance” rating and reduced their target price almost 30%. The new objective, $ 195, is more than 20% lower than the average objective price of approximately $ 248 among analysts that cover Amazon and were surveyed by Visblealpha.
“We continue constructive with the perspectives of AI/long -term investments, but with the increase [earnings before interest and taxes] Risk/limited monetization progress is more difficult for us to continue with our strong purchase qualification, ”said the note.
Raymond James analysts said they prefer the goal platforms (target) (which said it has a “risk of known China and a clear product cycle of AI”), Uber Technologies (Uber) (due to the “concerns of autonomous vehicles”) and marketing (Meli) (due to the exposure of Latin America and the “cohort gain drivers”).
Amazon can obtain less profits selling articles from China, representing approximately 30% of the value of gross merchandise on its platform, according to the estimate of Raymond James. Advertising income can also suffer since the import taxes of the United States and China oppose the products and tensions of others, analysts said. The national retailer shipping strategy also presents a wind against. The company is spending $ 15 billion in warehouses in the rural United States to serve the communities where UPS has reduced, analysts said.
Bank of America Securities analyzes maintained their “purchase” rating, while recognizing rates can affect Amazon’s business. The bank gave Amazon an objective price of $ 225 on Sunday.
Amazon informs fiscal profits in the first quarter on May 1.
