Rodzianko said that Amazon&#8217;s future multiple seems too high and might go back to its average, especially when the market processes the high costs of AI-related investments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Based on a forward P\/E of 25 and estimated FY27 profits per share of $10.25, the analyst set a 12-month price objective of $255 per share. That goal is lower than the current average estimate of $295.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Rodzianko also suggested moving portfolios toward lower-beta assets, such as government bonds, since he thought that equities prices may fall and the market might become tighter in the longer run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Investors will turn to Amazon&#8217;s next quarterly results for further information on margins and long-term AI monetization methods, which are still important factors in determining the company&#8217;s value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
