- Amazon's Market Potential: Amazon's current valuation stands at $2.6 trillion, requiring a 92% increase to reach $5 trillion by 2028, implying an annual return of 24% over the next three years, highlighting its robust growth potential.
- Cloud Computing Dominance: Amazon Web Services (AWS) commands a 41% share of the cloud infrastructure market, with third-quarter revenue growth accelerating to 20% driven by AI demand, further solidifying its market leadership.
- Google's Advertising Innovation: As the world's largest ad tech company, Google enhances ad personalization through AI tools, with Wall Street projecting a 15% annual earnings growth over the next three years, potentially reaching a $5 trillion valuation by 2028 if it continues to exceed expectations.
- Autonomous Driving Expansion: Amazon's autonomous driving subsidiary Zoox has launched a ride-sharing service in Las Vegas and plans to expand to three new U.S. cities in the coming months, which could enhance its market valuation and potentially increase its P/E ratio.
