<div id="readability-page-1"><p><span>Shares of <strong>Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) </strong>lost 0.41% </span><span>over the past five trading sessions after losing 5.56%% </span><span>the five prior, bringing the stock’s year-to-date loss to 0.39%. Amazon announced in August that it will begin offering customers same-day grocery delivery. </span><span>In July, it was reported that the company’s</span> founder Jeff Bezos sold nearly 3 million shares worth $665.8 million. The stock sale is part of a plan announced earlier this year that will see Bezos unload up to 25 million shares through May 2026.</p> <p>When the company reported Q2 earnings on July 31, its financial performance was overshadowed by a bleak outlook, with guidance weaker than Wall Street’s forecast. Amazon beat on earnings and revenue, with EPS coming in at $1.68 versus expectations of $1.33 and revenue of $167.7 billion versus expectations of $162.09 billion. Revenue from AWS was $30.87 billion versus expectations of $30.8 billion, while advertising revenue registered $15.7 billion versus expectations of $14.9 billion. Q2 sales saw year-over-year growth of 13% to $167.7 billion. However, for Q3, Amazon expects operating income between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, while analysts forecasts were for $19.48 billion.</p> <p>Nonetheless, analysts remain bullish on the e-commerce and cloud services giant, with the stock receiving a series of price target adjustments in the lead-up to and wake of the company’s Q2 earnings call. On Aug. 1, Bank of America raised its price target to $272 from $265, Barclays raised its price target to $275 from $240 and Piper Sandler raised its price target to $255 from $250. This comes on the back of numerous adjustments in July, with Capital ($270 from $233), Citi ($265 from $225), Needham ($265 from $220), Cantor Fitzgerald ($260 from $240) and Truist ($250 from $226) all issuing more aggressive price targets.</p> <p><span>From its 2024 bottom on Aug. 5, 2024, to its all-time high on Feb. 4, 2025, the stock had gained nearly 50.33%. But since hitting that high, the stock is down 9.31%. </span>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’s recently announced plan to launch a proprietary AI model with advanced reasoning capabilities 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>Outside of <strong>NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA)</strong>, Amazon has been a Wall Street darling since the company’s initial public offering in May 1997 at a split-adjusted price of $0.07. Amazon is up more than 9,839% since January 2005. However, the only thing that matters from this point on is what the stock will do for the next one, five and 10 years in the future.</p> <p><strong>24/7 Wall St.</strong> crunched the numbers to give you our best guess about Amazon’s future share price.

However, all those sales being “pulled forward” led to challenges in 2022, and the company swung to a surprise loss.

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.</p> <p><b>2. 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. In Q1 2025, the company reported AWS growth of 17% year-over-year based on revenue of $13.9 billion. That growth may not be 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, so Amazon is at risk of falling behind its cloud competitors before 2030 if it cannot stop market share losses.</p> <p><b>3. 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. In Q1 2025, the company reported Amazon Ads revenue of $13.9 billion, which was a 19% year-over-year gain from the same quarter in 2024.</p> <h2><b>Amazon (AMZN) Stock Price Prediction in 2025</b></h2> <p>According to Wall Street analysts, the current median one-year price target for Amazon is $266.66, representing potential upside of 21.53% from today’s price. The stock receives a consensus “Strong Buy” rating, with all 44 analysts covering Amazon assigning it a “Buy” rating, none assigning it a “Hold” rating and none assigning it a “Sell” rating.</p> <p>However, <strong>24/7 Wall St.</strong>‘s forecast is more conservative, projecting Amazon’s stock price to be $250.85, good for potential upside of 14.32% from today’s price. We see AWS continuing its current strong growth rate and also predict Amazon’s advertising business to continue outperforming analysts’ expectations.</p> <h2><b>Amazon (AMZN) Stock Forecast 2025–2030 </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.
