Amazon.com - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Amazon.com Stock? AMZN Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Sunday, December 15, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Amazon.com pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Amazon.com
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Amazon:

Amazon has received multiple upgrades from analysts, with price targets increasing significantly. For instance, TD Cowen raised their target from $240.00 to $265.00, indicating strong confidence in the company's growth potential.
The stock currently has a consensus target price of $238.87, suggesting that there is room for appreciation from its current trading levels, which enhances the investment appeal.
Amazon's diverse business model, which includes retail, advertising, and cloud services (AWS), positions it well for sustained revenue growth across different sectors.
With a forecasted EPS of 5.29 for the current fiscal year, Amazon is expected to generate solid earnings, which can lead to increased investor confidence and stock performance.
Analysts have overwhelmingly rated Amazon as a "buy," with 41 out of 44 analysts recommending the stock, reflecting strong market sentiment and potential for future gains.

Amazon.com
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Amazon for these reasons:

Insider selling has been significant, with over 6 million shares sold in the last quarter, which may indicate a lack of confidence among those closest to the company.
Despite positive analyst ratings, the stock has experienced fluctuations, and the recent average sale price of $199.06 by a director suggests potential concerns about current valuations.
Amazon's stock is subject to market volatility, and any adverse economic conditions could impact its performance, especially in its retail segment.
The competitive landscape in e-commerce and cloud services is intensifying, with other companies vying for market share, which could pressure Amazon's growth rates.
While the company is expected to post solid earnings, any miss in earnings expectations could lead to a sharp decline in stock price, making it a risky investment.
