Collins Stewart reiterates a 'Neutral' on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) price target cut from $190 to $180.
Collins analyst says, "Amazon reported a mixed 4Q, with revenues of $17.4B missing consensus of $18.3B by 5%, while PF EPS of $0.68 beat consensus of $0.47 by 45%. It marks a break from Amazon's typical performance in recent quarters where it has outperformed on the top-line and underperformed on margin and earnings. 1Q revenue / PF operating income guidance of $12.0-$13.4B / $0-$300M was lower by 5%/68% at the mid-point than prior consensus of $13.4B/$470M."
"We are reducing our 2012 revenue estimate by 6% and raising PF EPS estimate by 2% to reflect the mix shift. Our price target of $180 (previously $190) is based on 55x our 2012 PF EPS of $3.27, implying 1.1x PEG."
