Perplexity called it a legal threat, sparking a feud. Amazon earned $17.7 billion from digital ads in Q3. AI agents are challenging Amazon’s revenue stream.

Despite the feud, Amazon stock remains attractive due to AWS growth, grocery business expansion, margin expansion, and AI initiatives. AWS reported 20.2% revenue growth in Q3, beating estimates. Amazon’s private label grocery brand and faster deliveries support top-line growth. Margins are expanding through cost cuts and AI implementation.

AI is integral to Amazon’s business, with Rufus driving $10 billion in sales. AWS revenues surged in Q3. Live sports and Prime ads are expected to boost digital ad revenue. Post-earnings, Amazon’s stock surged, with analysts raising target prices. Amazon’s AI focus and growth potential warrant a forward P/E multiple of 35x.
