Wells Fargo Adjusts Amazon 2026 Price Target Amid AWS Growth

News Flash 2026-05-26 07:13

Wells Fargo has slightly reduced its 2026 price target for Amazon from $313 to $312, maintaining an Overweight rating. This adjustment aligns with the broader Wall Street consensus, which averages around $312.66. The decision reflects confidence in Amazon's AWS division, which reported a 28% year-over-year revenue increase to $37.587 billion in Q1 2026, marking its fastest growth in 15 quarters. AWS's operating margin remains at 38%, with a backlog of $364 billion, excluding a significant commitment from Anthropic. Amazon's in-house chip business is also thriving, reaching a $20 billion revenue run rate with strong demand for its Trainium2 and Trainium3 chips. Despite these positive developments, Amazon faces challenges such as high capital expenditures of $44.2 billion in Q1 and competitive pressures from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Analysts continue to rate Amazon as a Strong Buy, with its market cap nearing $2.79 trillion and the stock up 14% year-to-date. For crypto and AI firms, Amazon's expanding cloud and chip capabilities offer significant opportunities, though financial trade-offs remain a consideration.
