Amazon has a product called Kindle, which has been featured on the Oprah Show that could be very profitable. A Cowen analyst Jim Friedland increased his expectations for sales of the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle e-book reader. Friedland now expects Amazon to end 2009 with 1.5 million active Kindle units increasing revenue to $266 million, up 13% from their previous estimate of $235 million. For 2010, he increased his sales forecast by 11% to 1.8 million units. By the end of 2010, he expects 3 million Kindles to be in service. Within 5 years, he estimates, 17% of active Amazon customers will own Kindles which will account for 10% of Amazon’s North American sales, or $2.3 billion in GAAP revenues.
Yahoo Finance analyst predictis positive growth for next quarter as well as a 28.6% growth for next year. This in addition to the increased kindle purchases makes Amazon a hot stock to buy.
