Amazon Stock forecasts are positive on the news that Doug Herrington is the new CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores
In a move that was unexpected in the wake of the news on Tuesday Amazon announced Doug Herrington as its new CEO for the Worldwide Amazon Stores division. Following the resignation of Dave Clark earlier this month, he was named CEO of Flexport an software company that handles logistics. company.
After joining Amazon as of the year 2005 Herrington is in charge of the company’s North American Consumer division since 2015. He previously held the position of CEO of the company KeepMedia which offered magazine subscriptions digitally. He was also the director in marketing at Webvan, an online food service that was launched during the Internet bubble period.
Amazon has also appointed John Felton, who will be reporting to Herrington as the director of operations. Around 18 years ago, Felton joined the company. He assumed the role after being elevated to the position of head of his division of Global Delivery Services division in 2019. According to the CEO Andy Jacsy, in a blog post that announced the change the E-commerce industry is an area of immense development.
The announcement was well-received by investors and analysts. AMZN was trading in green following the news announcement and Amazon stocks forecasts were boosted by a number of points from analysts.
Based on Jassy, “[W]e’re still in the beginning of the possibilities of what we’re going to be able to accomplish.” Amazon only accounts for about 1% of the total retail market, and 85percent of that segment still relies on brick-and-mortar establishments. The long-term viability of Amazon requires perseverance. We must remain laser-focused on providing the best possible client experience (the most extensive selection of services, the lowest prices as well as quick and efficient delivery) and also work to optimize our cost structure”.
Warehouse space is in excess and could result in the biggest expense for Amazon and bring down Amazon’s stock projection.
Amazon is experiencing excess space issues and sales are predicted to drop significantly this year. Amazon.com Inc. is looking to vacate or sublease at the minimum of 10,000 square feet of space in its warehouse, as the multi-national company experienced slower sales in the initial two quarters of 2022.
According to reports, the actual space can be as large as 30 million square feet. Although it could seem like an enormous amount of space 10 million sq. feet. is close to Amazon’s 12 large fulfillment centers, or about 5% of additional space Amazon purchased on lease over the last 2 years.
Amazon was quick to dramatically increase its warehouse capacity when online sales rose during the epidemic.
As the world is moving towards a post-pandemic world However, Amazon has stated that millions and square meters of warehouse space may prove out to be over-used soon. As a measure to cut costs associated with space and expected to be in the range of $1 billion Amazon has begun looking for alternatives.
The most obvious of these alternatives is to sublease or vacate this excess space.
In the wake of this drop in sales Amazon suffered a drop in its net income during the first quarter of 2022, in which its net profit amounted just $3.7 billion. And to make matters worse Amazon expects to close its next quarter with a range of 1 billion dollars of negative to a positive of $3 billion in net profits.
Amazon recently announced its major plan to decrease total warehouse space as well as several strategies are being used to pursue it.
In some cities, Amazon has begun subletting of extra space, and/or to stop leases before the end of the term. It’s also worth noting that rent rates grew dramatically in 2021 when they increased to 17.6 percentage in some areas, adding to the worries of Amazon’s CEO.
Stocks plunge following a disappointing Q1 2022 but analysts reiterate their Amazon price forecast at $3,680
In the Q1 report for 2022, it has been an absolute disaster for Amazon which had its first loss of the past two years due to a slowing of sales and the price increased. Although the revenue reported was close to the expected result, Amazon reported an EPS of -7.56B versus the 8.49 expected. This led to the stock sinking 14.05 percent following the announcement was made. One of the factors that contributed to this disappointing performance was Amazon’s investment in Rivian, an electric vehicle firm. Amazon controls 20 percent of the company which was able to lose more than 50% of its value; resulting in Amazon having to pay $7 billion.
Regardless of this significant loss due to Amazon’s acquisition the shares owned by Rivian, the company’s other business areas including cloud computing and advertising continued to grow (as described further below). This is the reason why analysts haven’t altered their stock forecast, which is still set at more than $4k. In addition, premium research firms, such as MKM Partners and Truist Securities have maintained their Buy rating and Cowen & Co., BMO Capital, and Truist Securities, all kept their Outperform ratings.
The way that advertising, and AWS growth have contributed in influence Amazon expectations for its stock.
While Amazon is the dominant e-commerce platform, a portion of the business’s operations are focused on its delivery and delivery options is in decline and needs significant financial investment. However, Amazon’s retail sector – which offers large margins and long-term growth – gives access to an enormous customer base (Amazon’s website has more than two billion visitors every month), enabling the corporation to collect information for marketing purposes.
According to Zenith estimates, the global advertising industry is expected to expand by 5.7 percent by 2023 and 7.4 percent in 2024. In 2024, the United States will account for more than half of this growth, which will provide Amazon with a considerable advantage.
Amazon’s ad business is growing rapidly. The ad revenue in 2021 exceeded $31.2 billion. This represented an increase of 58% compared to 2020 and a 146% growth from the previous year.
In addition to these impressive projections, there is enough evidence that Amazon’s advertising is effective and affordable. According to BusinessWire it was found that 58 percent companies saw “excellent worth” for Amazon advertising, while a Feedvisor survey revealed a seven-fold return rate.
And aside from advertising, Amazon’s cloud service accounts just a fraction of the sales, but it accounts for more than two thirds of profit. In spite of Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOGL) growing percentages of market shares, AWS continues to control about one-third of the fast-growing business.
The sales of AWS grew by 37% in 2019. But due to the pandemic, the growth was slow in 2020 before increasing 30 percent, before picking back up in 2021 with an expansion of 37%. AWS growth during Q4 was 40percent higher than that of the previous year. AWS has also posted an increase of four quarters in a row. The cloud market is also expected to soon increase by double-digit percentages. According to Grandview Research, the CAGR will be 15.7 percent by the year 2030. During that time the market currently have increased in 272 percent.

JP Morgan, a US-based research firm, has stated that stocks are currently undervalued. According to JP Morgan, “revenue growth will accelerate in the second quarter due to a decrease in competition, the return of Prime 1 day/same-day perks, and price increases on Prime and FBA until 2022.”
