BoA Keeps Buy on Amazon as AI-Driven AWS Push Looms Large
TL;DR Summary
Bank of America reiterates a Buy on Amazon after a mixed Q4 and a much larger capex plan. Analyst Justin Post trims the target to $275 but argues AWS capacity expansion and AI-driven demand could drive future growth, even as he cites margin volatility and possible negative free cash flow in 2026. The street remains broadly bullish with a Strong Buy consensus and ~35% upside to a ~$283 target. Amazon guided Q1 revenue above expectations, but capex is seen rising to about $200B in 2026, with AWS growth at 24% and overall revenue at $213.4B for Q4.
