Amazon Outshines Google in Analyst's AI Playbook
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Scott Devitt has initiated coverage of Amazon.com (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL), giving both stocks Buy ratings. He sees an edge for Amazon, calling it 'one of the most resilient leaders' in the tech sector.
Devitt believes Amazon's position in AI is underappreciated, particularly as its cloud business continues to accelerate. Amazon Web Services (AWS) grew 37% year-over-year in the second quarter, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of accelerating growth.
He expects AWS growth to reach 45% by the end of 2026, compared with the Street's 38% estimate. Devitt also expects AWS revenue to exceed $335 billion by 2028.
