After a more than six-fold gain in five years many on Wall Street are wondering just how much further Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) can rise. The answer—a lot farther, at least according to a speculative “bull case” scenario provided by analysts at Morgan Stanley. Revenues from advertising, c🍒loud computing and the e-commerce giant’s Prime service could push the stock’s price to as high as $2,600, implying a 45% upside from Thursday’s close, to Barron’s.

Strong Growth

While Morgan Stanley’s price target of $1,700 is below Amazon’s current stock price, the bank’s analysts do see a way in which that price could hit the significantly more optimistic forecast of $2,600. This bull case scenario rests on a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:sum-of-parts valuation, valuing the company’s separate businesses on an individual basis and then adding them up to get a combined total value. At $2,600 per share, the total 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:market capitalization would be $1.3 trillion.

The strengths in Amazon’s advertising, cloud computing and Prime businesses “are enabl💖ing Amazon to continue to invest as hard as ever while also delivering higher profitabili🦂ty and revisions,” the bank’s analysts .

They see Amazon’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) from advertising, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and subscriptions for the year coming in at 17x what the company’s total EBIT was in 2010. Between 2017 and 2020, the analysts suggest a possible scenario where AWS revenue grows at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3﷽ꦑ9% and advertising revenue at 61%, to Barron’s.

Trading at a lofty 88.85 forward price-to-earnings ratio (澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:P/E ratio), Amazon may look expensive. But with significant potential growth opportunities, out of 52 of the analysts that cover the giant e-retailer, Bloomberg recently that all but one recommended owning its shares.

More Tepid Outlooks

Amazon still, however, faces numerous challenges. As the company has grown its executives have become targets for e-commerce startups looking to poach top talent. Also, international growth will become increasingly more diff🐻icult with the rise of Chinese-based in🎉ternational rival Alibaba.

Not all are quite as optimistic, however. Amazon could lose as much as 15% based on several technical indicators pointed out late last week. One such indicator was a bearish technical rising wedge, which is considered a reversal pattern. Also, the relative strength index (RSI) for the stock had been trending lower since the middle of June, an indicator that the stock is losing some momenཧtum. Volume levels have also been declining steadily, suggesting less buying activity.
