To impress investors, Amazon will need to show continued momentum in its cloud-computing business. But the real number to beat may be higher than the consensus view of 21% growth.
Amazon is making its AI-upgraded Alexa+ assistant available to everyone in the U.S. Alexa+ launched last year in an "early access" preview, meaning consumers had to join a waitlist or buy a new device to use the service.
Amazon is set to report its latest quarterly results after the closing bell Thursday, with traders anticipating a big move in the tech giant's stock that could bring it to new highs following the results.
I am downgrading my rating on Amazon.com, Inc., heading into the Q4 print, as any deceleration in AWS growth could spark a Microsoft-like re-rate. The Street whisper for AWS revenue is $34.9B. AMZN doesn't guide AWS, so a print below that, or growth under 20.2% YOY, may lead to a selloff. AMZN ads is the other growth engine (23.5% in Q3). I'm mainly focused on Prime Video streaming-ad momentum, including 315M ad-supported viewers and the Netflix inventory deal via Amazon DSP.
AMZN heads into Q4 earnings with $206-$213B sales guidance, double-digit growth, and momentum from AWS, advertising, and AI-driven retail.
Amazon.com, Inc. is redefining its AI infrastructure strategy with Trainium, a custom chip now driving multibillion-dollar business and 150% quarterly growth. Trainium's price/performance edge and vertical integration are compressing AWS margins short-term but set the stage for long-term margin expansion and competitive moats. DCF analysis indicates a fair value of $308.06, projecting 28.7% upside, with robust revenue and margin growth assumptions underpinned by AI-driven operating leverage.
Amazon increased the number of items it delivered to Prime members in the United States the same or next day by 30% in 2025. The company delivered over 8 billion items the same or next day in the U.S., it said in a Tuesday (Feb. 3) press release.

Long delays to get power grid connections are challenging Amazon's plans to expand data centers in Europe, the company told Reuters, as industries ramp up pressure on policymakers to upgrade ageing energy grids.
Amazon.com, Inc. is consolidating near $230-$240 and presents a potential rebound opportunity ahead of Q4 '25 earnings, in my opinion. AMZN stock trades at a discount to Mag 7 peers, with a forward PEG of 1.9x and 15.7x forward EV/EBITDA, despite margin and efficiency progress. Steady AWS growth and disciplined spending are key to improving sentiment, especially as expectations remain tamed.
