Similarly, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) saw Rosenblatt Securities reiterate a “Buy” rating with a $305 price target. The update followed the company’s AWS re:Invent event.

Moreover, the company’s growing role in AI and cloud markets, seen through its seven-year $38 billion deal with OpenAI and a $50 billion, 1.3 GW AI infrastructure build-out, boosted the firm’s confidence. Furthermore, Rosenblatt Securities believes the company’s valuation may not be fully reflecting its cash flow potential and market leadership.
