Citigroup reportedly revised up its price target on Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) to $2 250 from $2 100 previously, as the bank pointed out that Amazon Prime subscribers could reach 275 million by the year 2029, while the e-commerce giant could generate over $500 billion in annual Prime-related gross sales.
As of the end of 2017, Amazon had 101 million paid subscribers, while currently Amazon Prime is offered in 16 countries, including Canada, Germany, India and Japan.
Amazon shares closed lower for a fourth consecutive trading session on NASDAQ on Monday. The stock went down 0.67% ($13.06) to $1,939.01, after touching an intraday low at $1,931.52, or a price level not seen since August 28th ($1,928.82).
Shares of Amazon.com Inc have surged 65.80% so far in 2018 compared with a 7.61% gain for the underlying index, S&P 500 (SPX).
In 2017, Amazon’s stock rose 55.96%, thus, it again outperformed the S&P 500, which registered a 19.42% return.
“We remain positive on Amazon shares and view Amazons large and growing global Prime member base as not only a source of recurring revenue but a key reason why brands and third-party sellers are increasingly relying on Amazons marketplace,” Citi analyst Mark May wrote in a client note, cited by CNBC.
“Prime members are growing 35 percent to 40 percent per annum. There are many benefits of having highly satisfied membership-based customers, but a simple metric is that most studies suggest Prime members spend twice as much as non-Prime members,” May also noted.
