<div id="readability-page-1"><p><span>Shares of <strong>Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) </strong>were flat in a.m. trading on Wednesday, doing little to reverse the beating the stock has taken so far in 2025. With a year-to-date loss of nearly -13%, investors are awaiting signs of life from the e-commerce giant. </span></p> <p><span>On Monday, Jefferies lowered its price target on Amazon to $250 from $275. However, the firm maintained its “Buy” rating, which aligns with Wall Street analysts’ “Strong Buy” rating based on a forward P/E ratio of 30.28.  </span><span> </span></p> <p>While certain business segments like smart home devices are lagging, others — namely AWS — are likely to contribute to the company being able to surpass $100 billion in operating income with the next two years. Emerging business segments add to that optimism. Amazon recently announced a plan to launch a proprietary AI model with advanced reasoning capabilities that is set to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Scheduled for a June launch date, the model — named Nova — is intended to provide a price-efficient option over its competitors, including ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking.</p><p><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Follow-Our-500000-AI-Portfolio-3.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="468" height="120" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://247wallst.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Follow-Our-500000-AI-Portfolio-3.jpg"/></p> <p>During Amazon’s fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call on Feb. 6, the company announced that its advertising revenue surged to $17.3 billion as Thursday Night Football set streaming records by averaging 13.7 million viewers. That ad revenue represented 18% quarter-over-quarter growth. Additional revenue drivers included strong retail holiday spending and AI services through AWS, the largest cloud provider in the world. The stock hit its all-time high of $242.52 on Feb. 4 in the lead-up to the Q4 earnings call.</p> <p>Outside of <strong>Nvidia Corp.

The ride up wasn’t always smooth, however. For example, in 2020, sales jumped 38%, and net income nearly doubled. 2021 saw a continued boom as people moved to e-commerce shopping during Covid. However, all those sales being “pulled forward” led to challenges in 2022, and the company swung to a surprise loss. As Amazon embarks into the back half of the decade, a few different key areas will determine its performance.</p>  <h2><b>Three Key Drivers of Amazon’s Stock Performance</b></h2> <ul> <li><b>E-commerce Success:</b> While COVID-19 brought record sales to Amazon, it also led to many competitors investing heavily to compete with Amazon online. While e-commerce is still just 15% of retail sales, putting up huge growth rates in online sales won’t be as easy in the coming years as it was a decade ago.</li> <li><b>Amazon Web Services:</b> Amazon Web Services first-quarter 2024 revenue was $25.04 billion and the unit should break $100 billion in total sales this year. However, the unit’s 13% year-over-year growth is not as fast as competing cloud services like <strong>Microsoft Corp.</strong>‘s <strong>(NASDAQ: MSFT)</strong> Azure and <strong>Alphabet Inc.</strong>‘s <strong>(NASDAQ: GOOGL)</strong> Google Cloud. Amazon is at risk of falling behind Microsoft before 2030 if it cannot stop market share losses.</li> <li><b>Advertising:</b> Amazon exited 2024 with $17.3 billion in advertising business during the fourth quarter alone. Advertising could be another high-margin business line. Amazon currently gets most of its profits from its AWS cloud business, which has led the company past $100 billion in annual profits.</li> </ul> <h2><b>Amazon (AMZN) Stock Price Prediction in 2025</b></h2> <p>According to Wall Street analysts, the current consensus median one-year price target for Amazon is $269.34, which is about 38.43% upside potential from today’s price. All but one of the 47 analysts covering Amazon recommend buying shares, with the stock receiving a “Strong Buy” rating.</p> <p><strong>24/7 Wall St.</strong>‘s 12-month forecast is more conservative, projecting Amazon’s stock price to be $226.50. We see AWS continuing its current 12% growth rate but see Amazon’s advertising business outperforming analysts’ expectations.</p> <h2><b>Amazon (AMZN) Stock Forecast Through 2030 </b></h2> <ul> <li><b>AWS:</b> Assuming AWS stems its market share loss and investments in AI to counterbalance the threat from Microsoft and Google.</li> <li><b>E-commerce:</b> Amazon continues to pour investments into e-commerce, forgoing added profits to maintain market share. Our case model assumes growth in new logistics and efficiencies from robotics in warehouses leads to this unit finally delivering strong operating profits.</li> <li><b>Advertising:</b> Amazon’s advertising continued to grow to the now $47 billion business unit, and we see a high teens growth rate compounded annually.</li> </ul> <p>Add all these numbers up and take out some amount for “new bets” the company will surely be investing in (and a potential dividend boost) and we see revenue in 2030 at $1.15 trillion and $131 billion in net income. Today, the company trades for about 50X earnings, which we’ll take down to 35 times as the company matures (but continues showing growth). In our analysis, Amazon is worth $2.6 trillion in 2030.
