In a research note by Analyst Greg Melich at MoffettNathanson, Melich highlights the potential growth for the Amazon’s Cloud business. He mentioned that despite the growing competition from other technology-sector heavyweights like Microsoft Corp and Google’s Alphabet Inc, AWS will gain market share and expand profitability.

Melich says, “We are often asked, is Amazon a retailer, a tech company, or a budding media juggernaut? The answer is all of the above. Amazon’s retail business remains $1,200 of value in the sum-of-the-parts valuation of the stock price, while AWS accounts for about $900.”
