Reason
TD Cowen keeps a Buy rating and $300 price target on Amazon.com after the company announced that it has expanded its Same-Day delivery of fresh groceries to over 2,300 cites and towns. Faster delivery speed helps drive higher conversion, in turn driving the Prime flywheel, and today's announcement underscores this trend, as Prime customers ordering fresh groceries shop "twice as often" vs. those who don't order fresh, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The improved selection with perishable food services should continue to drive Amazon's overall growth in the broader grocery category, the firm added.

Reason
Guggenheim initiated coverage of Amazon.com with a Buy rating and $300 price target. The retail sector still seems to be perceived as "structurally sick," but the firm says "holiday brought the cheer," tariffs have been manageable so far and "most importantly and likely going unnoticed" is the fact that the majority of the firm's coverage actually operates at, or close to, their gross margin peaks.
