- Prediction : Amazon Next Chapter Could Be Its Most Important One Yet
24/7 Wall St. rates Amazon (AMZN) a BUY with a $332.67 price target, about 30% above the $255.20 share price, resting the case mainly on AWS growing 37% last quarter, its fastest pace in 18 quarters. Second-quarter revenue reached $200.61B versus a $196.43B estimate, and adjusted EPS of $1.88 beat the $1.83 estimate, while third-quarter operating income guidance is $22.5B to $26.5B. The main risk is cash flow: trailing free cash flow turned negative at about -$7.6B as capex rose 68.44% to $54.21B, and long-term debt climbed to $119.1B from $65.6B. Management says most of its 2027 capacity is already reserved by customers, though the Anthropic benefits will not repeat.
