MGM Acquisition Price Could Be Paid By A $5 Increase in Amazon.com's (AMZN) Prime Video Yearly Fee - BofA Securities

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post reiterated a Buy rating and $4,360.00 price target on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) expecting the MGM acquisition to boost the value of a Prime membership and could lead to an increase in the monthly cost. MGM's IP catalog includes 4,000+ films (with 181 Academy Awards), and 17k+ Television episodes (with 100 Emmy Awards). New MGM movies and TV shows could be released directly onto the Prime Video platform.

The analyst stated "The $9bn potential acquisition of MGM would be Amazon’s largest investment in content thus far (and likely a higher price than others suitors would pay), but could be financially attractive if incorporating MGM content can drive more Prime memberships, justify a $5 per year Prime Subscriber fee increase in Western markets, or help ensure Prime remains a top-5 streaming platform in a consolidating industry."
