Amazon (AMZN) has broken out into all-time high territory, closing at $200.02 (above last week’s all-time high mark of $199.84).
AMZN stock is firing on all cylinders and ready to take on all AI titans as it enters the space from the e-commerce angle. Some analysts believe Amazon’s AI initiatives—particularly in healthcare, advertising, e-commerce, and cloud computing—could push the company towards a massive $3 trillion valuation.
Amazon dominates US e-commerce with a whopping 37.6% market share, and its AWS leads the cloud market. Given its dominant position and AI adoption, analysts predict nearly 30% annual earnings growth for the next few years.
