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.

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 Wednesday, October 30, 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's consistent revenue growth and strong financial performance, with a net margin of 7.35% and a return on equity of 21.39%, indicate a stable and profitable business model.
Positive analyst ratings and price targets from reputable firms like Morgan Stanley, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Evercore ISI suggest confidence in Amazon's future growth potential.
Insider selling activity, while significant, can sometimes be a normal part of executives diversifying their portfolios and may not necessarily indicate negative sentiment towards the company.
Amazon's diversified business segments, including North America, International, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), provide exposure to various markets and opportunities for growth.
Despite recent insider selling, Amazon's stock price remains resilient, indicating continued investor interest and confidence in the company's long-term prospects.

Amazon.com
Bear Case

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

Recent insider selling activity, totaling 54,355 shares in the last three months, may raise concerns about executive sentiment towards the company's future performance.
Analyst price target adjustments, such as those by Piper Sandler and The Goldman Sachs Group, lowering their targets, could indicate potential headwinds or challenges ahead for Amazon.
High insider ownership of 10.80% of the company's stock may lead to conflicts of interest or governance issues that could impact decision-making and shareholder value.
Competition in the e-commerce and cloud services industries is intense, with rivals constantly innovating and challenging Amazon's market position, potentially affecting its growth trajectory.
While Amazon has a strong track record, macroeconomic factors, regulatory changes, or unforeseen events could impact the company's performance and stock price in the future.
