Morgan Stanley named Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN one of its “Best Ideas” in North America.

Analyst Katy L. Huberty said that Amazon’s shares do not appropriately reflect the company’s e-commerce business. She has placed a $420 price target on the stock, reflecting 40 percent upside.

Huberty said that strong sales and improving markets are driving record margins, while the company could slow investments to drive EPS growth. She also sees low institutional ownership, which could be an additional catalyst to drive the price higher.

Amazon is reporting Q4 earnings after the bell. It is expected to post EPS of $0.17 on $29.7 billion in revenue.

Shares are trading lower on the day at $301.38 and have lost more than 2 percent this year.
