Out of 30 Wall Street analysts who give recommendations on AMZN, the consensus analyst rating on AMZN is a Strong Buy
It's important to note that analyst ratings are not stock recommendations, nor are they financial advice.
Laura Martin, a top 10% analyst from Needham reiterates AMZN with a buy rating and maintains their AMZN price target from $120.00 to $120.00, on Mar 20, 2023.
Doug Anmuth, a top 1% analyst from JP Morgan maintains AMZN with a strong buy rating and lowers their AMZN price target from $142.00 to $135.00, on Mar 16, 2023.
Maintaining his Strong Buy rating, Anmuth lowered his price target on Amazon.com Inc. by 4.9%.
The stock's valuation only increased 14% over the past three years versus the S&P 500's rise of 63%, the analyst stated, noting that "investor sentiment remains at multi-year lows."
Although it is not possible to overlook the recent growth slowdown of Amazon Web Services, an argument can be made that it was caused by macro reasons and strong secular growth will come back when the economy recovers, Anmuth said.
A "number of pressures" in 2022 should fade or ease in 2023, the analyst predicted.
To conclude his note, Anmuth told investors that, "with meaningful steps from management to control costs, Amazon remains one of his best ideas."
