Amazon Stock Price Drops After FTC Lawsuit Amid Continued Growth Expectations
A recent lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission and 22 states against Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) alleging $20 billion in overcharging through its advertising practices has led to a 2.5% drop in the company's stock price, closing at $259.77 on Monday.
Citi reaffirmed its 'Buy' rating on AMZN with a price target of $350, citing continued growth in advertising expenditure and increasing demand for AI solutions within Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Amazon's current Price-to-Sales ratio stands at 3.64, slightly above its 3-year median of 3.44, indicating the market's expectation of sustained revenue growth.
