Amazon is poised for significant growth in 2026, driven by its strategic investments in artificial intelligence and cloud services. Analysts from BMO Capital and JPMorgan highlight Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a key profit driver, particularly as more businesses adopt AI tools that require substantial computing power. With expectations of a potential AI-related acquisition next year, Amazon is set to enhance its capabilities further. Despite modest stock gains in 2025 due to increased capital spending, JPMorgan anticipates a renewed focus on AWS revenue growth, aiming for a mid-20% range.
In addition to its AI ventures, Amazon is innovating in the retail sector with a new “rush” pickup service, allowing customers to collect orders from stores within an hour. This initiative, expected to be tested in a major city by early 2026, aligns with Amazon’s strategy to accelerate fulfillment and delivery. Analysts maintain a strong buy consensus on Amazon stock, with a projected 29.3% upside potential, reflecting confidence in the company’s ability to leverage its AI and retail innovations for future growth.
