Tom Forte has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Amazon’s impressive financial performance and strategic positioning. The company’s 2Q25 results exceeded expectations, with sales and EBIT surpassing consensus estimates and guidance, showcasing strong execution across its core businesses such as Retail, Advertising, and AWS. This robust performance was further enhanced by operational efficiencies and favorable foreign exchange impacts.
Additionally, Amazon’s cloud-computing segment, AWS, showed significant growth, driven by increased demand for AI services and new tools. The advertising sector also demonstrated strong growth, benefiting from expanded inventory and partnerships. Despite uncertainties from tariffs, Amazon has not experienced a decline in demand, maintaining competitive pricing and leveraging its diversified seller base. These factors, along with an increased price target and a valuation discount compared to peers, underpin Forte’s Buy rating.
Forte covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Jakks Pacific, Beyond Inc, and Allbirds. According to TipRanks, Forte has an average return of 6.8% and a 44.26% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released yesterday, Piper Sandler also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $255.00 price target.
