Retail & E‑commerce Market: Evercore: AI Driving More Amazon Purchases; Price Target Raised
Evercore ISI said artificial intelligence is driving more consumers to Amazon's shopping platform and raised its price target on Amazon shares to $355 from $315. Analyst Mark Mahaney cited survey evidence that 57% of Alexa AI users bought a product they were not previously aware of, and that 36% of survey participants reported buying more because of AI additions to Alexa. Evercore’s annual online retail survey found 92% of respondents had used Amazon versus 58% for Walmart. The firm’s call aligns with Wall Street consensus, which LSEG data shows is overwhelmingly bullish on Amazon.
AI-driven product discovery on Amazon could accelerate e‑commerce spending and expand retail media monetization opportunities, affecting ad spend and first‑party commerce data strategies.
