Amazon Stock Future Prospects, New Steps Forward with Company’s Drone Delivery
Having risen over 86% year to date, nearly 40% in the past three months, and jumped 10% in the last month, Amazon’s leadership board is not leaving anything to chance for its future delivery to its shareholders.
According to a Bloomberg report, Amazon has been granted approval by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will allow it to start trialing commercial deliveries through its drone system.
The MK27 drones, developed in a way to function independently from human interaction, are expected to be rolled out in delivering maximum 5 lb goods to its customers.
Once rolled out, the drone system will reduce its backlog of unfulfilled deliveries timeline, hence putting it at a better vantage point than its competitors.
In addition, it will assist the company in reducing the fuel run engines in its goal of clean energy consumption.
This will mean the company will be a bigger employer both in the United States and also in the global market. As a result, its sales and revenue will skyrocket which will be a big booster to its current $1.7 trillion market capitalization.
Consequently, with investors gaining more confidence in Amazon stock, its value will shoot even higher.
