Amazon (AMZN) continues to capture the attention of investors and Wall Street analysts with its robust performance and promising outlook. The TipRanks A.I. Analyst has joined the chorus of bullish sentiment, assigning Amazon an Outperform rating with a strong score of 81 out of 100. The A.I. analyst has set a price target of $257, indicating a potential upside of 9%. Wall Street analysts are equally optimistic, forecasting a 12% upside for the stock. This positive outlook is fueled by Amazon’s impressive Q2 financial results, where net sales grew 13% year-over-year to $167.7 billion, surpassing expectations.
Amazon’s growth is largely driven by strong performances in its AWS and Amazon Ads divisions, which saw year-over-year increases of 17% and 19%, respectively. The company’s focus on AI innovation and efficient operations has helped mitigate challenges such as tariffs and inventory issues. However, Amazon faces some pressure from declining AWS margins due to heavy AI investments and is losing some online grocery market share to competitors. Despite these challenges, analysts remain bullish on Amazon’s diversified business model and expect continued revenue expansion, with a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 44 Buys and one Hold.
