Bank of America Weighs in on Amazon Stock Amid Rising Robotics Potential
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made several high-profile acquisitions in recent years, including the $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods in 2017 and the $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM Studios in 2022. Confident Investing Starts Here: But long before these deals, Amazon made a strategic bet that would quietly redefine its core operations. In 2012, it acquired Kiva Systems for $775 million – a move that laid the foundation for the company's massive push into automation. That early investment has since evolved into a robotics powerhouse, with Amazon now deploying more than 20 types of robots and operating a fleet of over 750,000 units. Although robots are already deeply integrated into Amazon's fulfillment centers, Bank of America's Justin Post, an analyst ranked in the top 1% of Wall Street stock experts, thinks the company is still in the early stages of broader robotics adoption, as evidenced by the late-2024 launch of its automated fulfillment center and the May announcement of eight new robots for delivery stations set to be deployed over the next two years. 'Robots will be instrumental in improving Amazon's long-term cost structure,' says Post, 'likely by: 1) reducing labor dependencies and impact of wage inflation; 2) reducing employee injury costs; 3) increasing order accuracy, and 4) driving higher warehouse utilization.' Post thinks Robotics could strengthen Amazon's 'competitive moats,' especially as increased transparency in an AI-driven retail landscape favors companies with lower costs and faster delivery. According to Amazon, recent AI advancements have brought a 'step change' in how automation can help its employees, opening the door for further logistical innovation. The development of spatially aware robots capable of sorting, picking, and packing represents a 'significant breakthrough' in fulfillment and delivery – one that Amazon is likely to embrace well ahead of rivals, thanks in part to its leadership in AI through AWS. The cost-saving potential of robots is not to be sniffed at. The new 12th-generation fulfillment centers – equipped with 10 times more robots – are expected to reduce peak period service costs by 25%. The multi-year rollout of these advanced centers and retrofitting of existing facilities is underway, after kicking off with the initial one last year. Amazon is also deploying more robots in delivery stations and piloting autonomous drone deliveries in Texas and Arizona. Based on estimated efficiency gains – 20% in new fulfillment centers, 15% in updated delivery stations, and 40% for drone deliveries on select packages – by 2032, Post reckons robotics could generate up to $ 16 billion in annual cost savings. Additionally, there's still a way to go in improving margins. The 2024 retail operating profit margin of 5.4% amounts to a big improvement vs. 2022, and Post thinks that over the long-term, there is potential for margins to reach 11%, based on assumptions of a 55% margin on advertising, 20% on third-party (3P) services, 5% on subscriptions, breakeven for 1P (first-party) retail, and $10 billion in annual investment spending. 'We think robots and drones will increase Amazon's shipping speed advantages, and could add another 2pts to Amazon's long-term retail margins, helping move 1P toward better profitability in a very price-transparent AI world,' Post further said. Conveying his confidence, Post assigns a Buy rating to AMZN shares and raises his price target from $230 to $248, suggesting the stock could gain ~21% in the months ahead. (To watch Post's track record, click here) That is just one of many bullish AMZN takes on Wall Street; the stock's Strong Buy consensus rating is based on a lopsided mix of 47 Buys and 1 Hold. Going by the $240.62 average price target, a year from now, the shares will be changing hands for a 17% premium.

Alarming map surrounding Australia highlights growing danger to $3.8 billion industry
Populations of whales that survived decades of hunting now face new threats as they migrate from Antarctica to Australia. On Wednesday, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) launched an interactive map of the world highlighting where the routes of 1,400 whales collide with threats from ships, noise, fossil fuel projects, pollution, fishing and climate change. Whales are critical to ocean health and play an important role in tourism, creating US$2.1 billion (A$3.8 billion) in global revenue and supporting 13,000 jobs. It's hoped the publicly accessible platform will help stop more species of whale from becoming extinct by pinpointing where the dangers occur. And there are plans to gradually add more data from rarely seen species like beaked whales, of which very little is known. Of particular concern to WWF is the North Atlantic right whale which continues to be killed by ships and fishing gear entanglement, and with fewer than 70 breeding females left, the species is showing no signs of recovery. Southern right whales that we see in Australia are also of concern because their numbers have cryptically stagnated at a level far below pre-whaling levels. Related: Carloads of Aussies flock to water's edge for whale migration ritual Chris Johnson, the global lead for WWF's Protecting Whales and Dolphins Initiative, said the project is designed to be another 'building block' as researchers try to fill gaps in our knowledge about the oceans. 'Whales are these ocean giants that we absolutely love, particularly in Australia, and we still know so little about their migratory patterns,' he told Yahoo News from Melbourne. 'I study sperm whales and there's very little satellite tagging of them, and we don't do a lot of research offshore. We're still discovering new beaked whale species and they're the size of elephants.' More than 50 global research groups were involved in the map's creation. As more data is added to the platform, researchers will be able to gain new insights into the cumulative impact of multiple man-made threats on whales. 📸 Incredible whale spotted just metres from shore thrills tourists 😳 Disturbing photos emerge of famous orcas linked to 'dangerous myth' 🏝️ Tourists stunned by whale encounter off the Aussie coast For instance, the Queensland government announced last week it would be investing $88 million to expand its shark control program, which will include nets known to frequently entangle whale mothers and calves. An average of six whale entanglements a year may not seem like many, but it's adding to a massive global problem. Johnson said the announcement was 'disappointing' because there are modern alternatives to problematic nets. 'It's concerning because bycatch is probably the biggest issue for cetaceans worldwide. Around 300,000 a year die from entanglement and that's an issue from 25 years ago, so the problem is now probably much bigger,' he said. Today, seven of the world's 14 great whale species are threatened with extinction, and their migration routes are critical to their breeding and feeding. Shipping, fishing and gas and oil drilling have been important to industrialisation and the advancement of human interests. Transporting new phones and electric vehicles across the globe, and catching more fish for oil supplements, will continue to enrich our lives, but as more species are lost, the planet becomes less complex and arguably less interesting. By highlighting where the biggest problem areas are, companies will be empowered to make changes to lessen their impact on whales. Johnson said there are examples of this already occurring. In the North Atlantic, companies are altering their fishing methods, with some no longer using rope so whales aren't entangled. In Greece, shipping lanes have been modified to reduce the chances of collisions, and similar changes are being made in Asia. 'Off Sri Lanka, there's a big habitat for blue whales in the northern Indian Ocean. It's one of the busiest shipping lanes on Earth,' he said. 'But research has shown if you move the shipping lane 15 nautical miles further south, it'll reduce ship strikes.' While the government has been slow to respond, shipping companies themselves have been altering their routes in order to reduce the number of strikes. If all of them agree to reroute, the risk of collision would be reduced by 95 per cent.
