This time last year, shares of e-commerce and cloud-computing company Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) could have easily looked like they had already exhausted much of their upside potential. Trading at $968 at the time, shares were up 25% in the trailing-12-month period ending Aug. 13, 2017, and they were up 83% in the two-year timeframe leading up to that date. But Amazon stock has continued to surge higher, rising 97% in the last 12 months -- nearly doubling to $1,910 at the time of this writing.
With such a monstrous run-up behind it, it's a good time to reflect on what has driven the stock so much higher over the past 12 months. Catalysts for the stock include fast-growing revenue, skyrocketing earnings per share, huge growth in Amazon Web Services, and more.
Here's what investors should know.

Top 5 Heal Care Stocks To Buy For 2019: California Grapes International, Inc. (CAGR)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By SEEKINGALPHA.COM]
It is hard to fully wrap your hands around the potential market opportunity that Accenture will have in the years ahead but I believe that the opportunities are almost endless (dramatic, I know). For example, consider these forecasts that Forbes detailed in its "2017 Roundup Of Internet Of Things Forecast" report:
According to Bain, "B2B IoT segments will generate more than $300B annually by 2020, including about $85B in the industrial sector". According to PwC, "$6T will be spent on IoT solutions between 2015 and 2020". According to Accenture, "Industrial Internet Of Things could add $14.2T to the economy by 2020". According to Statista, "The global Internet of Things (IoT) market is projected to grow from $2.99T in 2014 to $8.9T in 2020, attaining a 19.92% Compound Annual Growth Rate (OTCPK:CAGR). Industrial manufacturing is predicted to increase from $472B in 2014 to $890B in global IoT spending. Healthcare and life sciences are projected to increase from $520B in 2014 to $1.335T in 2020, attaining a 17% CAGR".The forecasts compiled by Forbes are all over the place but one thing is consistent, that is, the growth potential for IoT (and the sub-industries) is real. Connected things are expected to experience significant growth and I believe that it is hard to deny that digital will play a key role in the future growth of the global economy.
