Amazon Shares Jump 5% After Phillip Securities Upgrades to Buy with $330 Target
Yahoo Finance ·
Amazon shares climbed 5% following an upgrade by Phillip Securities to Buy, alongside a price target of $330. The tech giant's capital expenditures surged, with September quarter spending reaching $77.3 billion, driving a free cash flow outflow of $42.4 billion over the past twelve months. Alphabet and Meta Platforms faced similar cash pressures, reporting free cash flow outflows of $9.07 billion and $2.12 billion respectively last quarter, while Nvidia benefited significantly from the infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, Amazon's cloud division AWS saw revenue grow 39% to $46.0 billion, backed by a backlog of $578 billion. CEO Andy Jassy projected that AWS growth will exceed 40% in both 2027 and 2028. Following recent market sell-offs driven by AI spending concerns, Amazon's forward P/E multiple dropped to 24x, marking its lowest level in five years.
AI 시장 분석
Amazon shares surged 5% after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy and set a price target of $330. AWS revenue increased 39% quarter-on-quarter to $46.0 billion, with backlog reaching $578.0 billion. However, aggressive AI infrastructure investments have led to negative free cash flow for Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta, raising concerns over funding pressures.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — Sustained massive AI capital expenditures by Big Tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta are expected to directly drive revenue growth for AI semiconductor firms like NVIDIA.
- AI — Demand for cloud and AI services is exploding, evidenced by AWS revenue growing 39% and backlog reaching $578.0 billion.
하락 영향
- Growth Stocks — Capital expenditures by Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta exceeding operating cash flow have resulted in free cash outflows, raising concerns over short-term financial pressure and increased stock volatility.
DYAX 전담 분석
Amazon's rating upgrade is based on AWS's robust 39% growth and valuation attractiveness with a forward P/E of 24x, the lowest in five years. However, the surge in capital expenditures resulting in $42.4 billion in free cash outflow over the past 12 months acts as a financial risk.
Future stock direction will be determined by the 2027 capital expenditure guidance and whether AWS can sustain a growth rate above 40%. While massive facility investments are positive for hardware suppliers like NVIDIA, short-term cash flow deterioration among Big Tech companies could increase stock volatility.
