0809 ET - Investors are underestimating the Ebit pressures that Amazon will go through as a result of its investment cycle on supply chain, logistics and AI, among other bets, Raymond James analysts say in a research note. While there is a positive long-term potential from these investments, the analysts say they lack sufficient visibility in the investment levels/return on investment in 2025 and 2026. "Improving monetization momentum would make us more constructive, while higher-than-expected investments could make us more cautious." Raymond James lowers its recommendation on the stock to outperform from strong buy and cuts its target price to $195 a share from $275 a share previously. Shares fall 1.7% to $169.55 in pre-market trading. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
