Jefferies Turns Bullish Towards Alphabet And Amazon Before Black Friday


The e-commerce giants are expected to report great sales in holidays and shopping seasons, and analysts believe that the investors and shareholders can sit back and relax while this happen.

Alphabet is expected to score some massive positives in the upcoming holiday season, as that is when the e-commerce activities are at their highest as more and more people choose to stay indoors and shop for their favorite products online. Equity firm, Jefferies, has carried out research on companies who hold an important position in the e-commerce industry and has concluded that the top most giants are unarguably Alphabet and Amazon.
These two companies have already started to hike up strategies to carry out before the big sale of Black Friday takes place and analysts in the market have analyzed which giant is currently showing more strength for the near term future.
According to Jefferies analysts, it has been noted that the Amazon has been experiencing an elevation in the same store sales with an increase of around 16% on a year over year basis as recorded I October, while it rose by 19% in the month of September. The highest increment on the sales was seen in August, with the sales going up by 25%. All positives that the e-commerce giant has been showing have made analysts very bullish, and they believe that the organization has been showing signs of growth, which are faster than any other sellers in the industry.
Amazon Web Services is another wing of the organization that has been drawing a lot of business and has been boosting the revenue of the giant in a very positive manner. All this has made the analysts present a price target of $775 to the retail giant. On the other hand, Alphabet seems to be getting highly bullish remarks from Jefferies backed up by the great earnings report it has posted in the third quarter of the year with the revenue growing by 21% compared to the previous year.
As per reports, the mobile monetization that the giant has been observing with the increasing mobile searches in every quarter is another factor, which can change the concerns of the analysts to some more bullishness. Alphabet business also reported the same store sales to experience increment of 32% in October as compared to the same quarter figures that were reported last year. The highest growth was seen in September, when the same store rose by 46% year over year and made jaws of industry pundits drop with the stunningly strong figures.
