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.

Amazon reported a strong earnings performance with an EPS of $1.43, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.14, indicating robust profitability and operational efficiency.
The company has shown a year-over-year revenue growth of 11.0%, reaching $158.88 billion, which reflects its strong market position and ability to expand its customer base.

Amazon.com
Bear Case

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

Insider selling has been significant, with 6,032,344 shares sold valued at over $1.25 billion, which may indicate a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the company's future performance.
The stock has a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 46.88, suggesting that it may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could pose a risk for new investors.
Amazon's quick ratio of 0.87 indicates that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term liabilities, which could raise concerns about its liquidity position.
Despite strong revenue growth, the company's net margin of 8.04% is relatively low, which may limit its profitability compared to competitors.
The stock's beta of 1.14 suggests that it is more volatile than the market, which could lead to larger price swings and increased risk for investors.
