That's not to say that the company has been sitting idly by, however. Amazon has certainly made some headlines in 2025. A big story was its $38 billion cloud computing deal with OpenAI, and the company continues to be one of the biggest AI capex spenders around. Of course, the company got its start in the consumer sector, and the e-commerce giant remains a staple of online shopping. Top investor Geoffrey Seiler thinks good things are in store for AMZN, and argues that it is currently available at bargain prices. "Amazon's stock is on sale despite the company seeing strong growth in both its e-commerce and cloud computing businesses," explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 3% of stock pros covered by TipRanks. Seiler readily acknowledges that AMZN has been a "laggard" throughout 2025, a stark contrast to the big jumps in value enjoyed by some of its hyperscaler peers. And yet, the investor points out that its Forward Price-to-Earnings multiple around 30x is trading at a discount to other large retailers such as Walmart and Costco, both of which possess Forward Price-to-Earnings ratios above 40x. The investor also points out that Amazon is performing well, citing an 11% increase in its North American e-commerce sales last quarter. Technology opportunities are another well-established source of additional growth, with Seiler specifically mentioning Amazon Web Services' 20% year-over-year revenue growth last quarter. "That should continue as Amazon is pouring money into the segment to build out data center infrastructure to capture increasing AI demand," adds Seiler. Summing up, Seiler is feeling bullish about AMZN. "Given the opportunity in front of it, the stock is on sale," concludes Seiler.

Its 12-month average price target of $296.12 implies gains surpassing 30% in the year ahead. (See AMZN stock forecast)
