Tech stocks are generally up

Apple shares surged more than 80% last year amid a broad rally in technology stocks, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500. Bezos founded Amazon Books in 1994. He stepped down as CEO and took over as executive chairman in 2021. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, he is currently the third richest person in the world, with a net worth of $185 billion.

On February 4, UBS issued a research report, raising Amazon’s price target to $198 and maintaining a “buy” rating. They predict that Amazon’s stock is poised to rise in 2024 as the headwinds dissipate. Ubs further said that despite Amazon’s improved service levels, the “cost of service” in 2023 fell for the first time since 2018.

In addition, “outstanding issues” such as e-commerce deceleration in 2021, profit compression in 2022, and AWS deceleration in 2023 will largely fade this year.
