Baird Maintains an 'Outperform' on Amazon.com (AMZN); Soothing Some Nerves

Baird maintains an 'Outperform' on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) price target of $250.00.

Analyst, Colin Sebastian, said, "Solid growth worldwide and accelerating Media and Marketplace contributions drove upside, consistent with our positive e-commerce checks. More surprisingly, operating income and EPS easily beat guidance and consensus expectations driven by a higher gross margin. Underlying trends remain healthy with strong unit growth and improving digital content sales. We continue to view Amazon as a core Internet holding with the most visible and largest growth opportunities in the sector."

"We are raising our Q2 and 2012 revenue estimates to $12.6 billion (+27%) and $62.7 billion (+30%), from $12.4 billion and $62 billion, respectively."
