Recent Updates on Amazon.Com, Inc. stock
Amazon.com (AMZN) shares have been choppy but broadly flat to modestly higher in recent weeks, with moves ranging from a small decline of roughly 1–3% over the past week in some snapshots to gains of about 3–5% over the past month and roughly 1–3% over the past year, trading most recently around $231–$243. Despite this muted price performance, Wall Street remains strongly bullish, assigning a Strong Buy consensus and average 12‑month targets around $294–$297, implying sizable upside; several top analysts are even higher, with Citi’s Ronald Josey at $320 and BMO’s Brian Pitz at $304. Recent research ahead of Amazon’s fourth‑quarter 2025/early‑2026 results calls for revenue near $213 billion and operating income around $26 billion, generally above Street estimates, underpinned by accelerating AWS growth (about 21–22.5% year over year) driven by AI‑related workloads and better capacity, resilient holiday retail demand with ongoing market‑share gains, and a rapidly expanding, high‑margin advertising business. Analysts also highlight heavy but strategic capital spending on AI infrastructure and logistics (such as Same‑Day facilities), and expect operating margins to continue to expand, arguing that improved cloud momentum, stronger AI positioning, and continued ad and retail strength could support multiple expansion from what they view as an undervalued starting point.
Spark’s Take on AMZN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AMZN is a Outperform.
Amazon’s overall stock score is driven by strong financial performance and positive earnings call sentiment, particularly in AWS and advertising growth. However, technical analysis indicates short-term weakness, and the high P/E ratio suggests a premium valuation. Cash flow management remains an area for improvement.
