Amazon.com - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

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.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • Amazon reported a strong quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $1.43, significantly exceeding analysts' expectations of $1.14, indicating robust financial performance and effective cost management.
  • The company's revenue for the quarter reached $158.88 billion, reflecting an 11.0% increase compared to the same quarter last year, showcasing its growth potential in the e-commerce sector.

  • Amazon has received numerous "buy" ratings from analysts, with 40 out of 43 analysts recommending the stock, which indicates strong confidence in its future performance.

Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • Despite strong revenue growth, Amazon's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 43.07, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
  • The company's quick ratio of 0.87 suggests that it may face challenges in meeting short-term liabilities, which could raise concerns about liquidity in a downturn.
  • Amazon's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.21, while relatively low, indicates that the company is using some leverage, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if the company faces financial difficulties.
  • Market volatility and economic uncertainties could impact consumer spending, which is critical for Amazon's revenue, making it a riskier investment in uncertain times.
  • Analysts have varying target prices, with some as low as $197.00, indicating a lack of consensus on the stock's future performance, which could lead to increased volatility.
