AMZN--
Amazon's stock has shown impressive strength in recent months, climbing 24.9% over the last quarter. This rally is attributed to growing optimism about Amazon's ability to maintain its dominance across key segments like e-commerce and cloud computing [1]. The company's fundamentals remain robust, with its core retail operations, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and advertising segment contributing significantly to its growth.
AWS, Amazon's cloud division, generated $29.3 billion in revenue in Q1 2025, up 17% from the previous year. The segment's operating income reached $11.5 billion, accounting for the bulk of Amazon's total operating profit. The company's advertising business also performed well, with ad revenue climbing 19% year-over-year to $13.9 billion in Q1 2025 [1].
Analysts are bullish on Amazon, with a "Strong Buy" consensus rating on AMZN stock. The average price target set by 67 analysts is $252.43, suggesting a potential 9.64% upside from the current trading price [2]. However, GuruFocus estimates suggest a potential downside of 17.71% based on their GF Value calculation [2].
While Amazon's earnings are expected to be strong, persistent macroeconomic headwinds could inject volatility into the stock. Traders are currently pricing in a post-earnings move of around 4.55% in either direction [1]. It is crucial for investors to closely monitor Amazon's earnings report and any guidance provided to assess the potential impact on the stock.
