- Amazon stock pops after Morgan Stanley details 5 catalysts, lifts price target
Morgan Stanley named Amazon a top pick and raised its price target to $350 from $335, implying about 40% upside from Friday's $250 close. The bear and bull cases are $220 and $410, a 3:1 risk-reward ratio. Analyst Brian Nowak outlined five catalysts: faster AWS revenue growth (47% in 2027 and 42% in 2028), AWS operating margins of 42% and 44%, more visibility into Bedrock, gains from AI shopping, and robotics that could save $2 billion to $4 billion a year for every 10% of units moving through automated fulfillment centers. The firm raised its capex forecast to $355 billion for 2027 and $365 billion for 2028. The stock is up about 11% this year but sits roughly 10% below its early August high.
- Should You Buy Meta (META) Ahead of Earnings?
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) reports Q3 results on Oct 21, and the stock is among the top 10 holdings in Trump's latest portfolio, where its biggest trade in the Oct 8 filing was a purchase of $5 million to $25 million on Aug 21. Bulls say AI is boosting Meta's ad business: in Q2, ad impressions rose 14%, the average price per ad rose 12% and revenue grew 28%. Bears point to rising capital spending, nearly vanished free cash flow and a Q2 earnings miss of about 14% from legal and severance charges, while Muse brings in little revenue so far. The number of hedge funds holding Meta fell from 262 to 254 in Q2, and the stock fell after each of its last two earnings reports. The article notes analysts expect Q3 revenue growth of about 24% with EPS below last year, and suggests either buying a small starter position before the report or waiting for it.
