On January 29, 2026, David Taylor made a purchase transaction involving shares of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), with the transaction amount ranging between $1,001 and $15,000. Amazon is a global e-commerce and cloud computing giant, known for its Amazon Web Services (AWS) and a wide range of consumer products. It competes with companies like Microsoft and Google in the cloud space. Amazon is preparing to release its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings report on February 5.
UBS analysts have increased their price target for Amazon shares from $310 to $311, maintaining a 'Buy' rating. This reflects their confidence in AWS's expansion and Amazon's long-term free cash flow potential. The current share price is approximately $238.62, suggesting potential upside. UBS analysts describe Amazon shares as "a coiled spring," indicating the market may not fully appreciate AWS's potential. They expect AWS revenue to double by 2028, driven by increased capital investment. Amazon plans to double its capacity by 2027 to meet rising demand for cloud and AI services, influencing a positive outlook on its future performance.
Amazon faces potential challenges as it approaches its Q4 earnings report. Market expectations for AWS revenue are set at $34.9 billion. Falling short of this target or a year-over-year growth rate below 20.2% could trigger a selloff. Additionally, Amazon's advertising sector, which grew 23.5% in Q3, remains a critical focus area. Amazon's Q4 2025 earnings release is expected to show net sales between $206 billion and $213 billion, a growth of 10% to 13% compared to the same quarter in 2024. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales is $211.56 billion, reflecting a 12.66% increase from the previous year. The consensus estimate for earnings is $1.98 per share, marking a 6.45% rise from the prior year.
