’s gaining strength as a streaming platform is another tail wind for the stock, he added. “We believe Street estimates have yet to reflect the greater commitment to Operating Margin expansion that GOOGL management has made. Sources of Operating Margin expansion include

,” said Mahaney. He has a $225 price target on shares, indicating upside potential of about 20%. Uber was promoted to Evercore ISI’s second-favorite large cap longs from fourth place. “We continue to believe that recent concerns about UBER being negatively impacted by an AV rollout are mis-placed,” said Mahaney. “We actually view transportation networks or rideshare networks as likely beneficiaries of the AV rollout, as they offer the easiest and fastest path to wide scale adoption.

is likely to post a slight beat in the second quarter. “Given AMZN’s very consistent guidance pattern, the company is not likely to bracket with its guidance unless it has material Q2 OI upside. We refer to this as an ‘expectations trip-up’ issue and not a fundamental issue,” Mahaney noted.
