Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is among the stocks with the best earnings growth for the next 5 years. On January 15, Raymond James cut the price target on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) to $260 from $275 and kept an ‘Outperform’ rating. As the analyst noted in a research note, the outlook for Q4 looks bright, given a solid holiday trend, strong ad checks, and an AWS beat, despite AI being the key driver of stock performance in the upcoming year.

Raymond James remains confident about the AWS cloud division, highlighting “untapped potential in modern robotics” and anticipating higher estimates for AWS performance than forecasted. The firm believes Wall Street guidance for AWS growth looks conservative, with bottom-up modeling suggesting a 22% to 23% growth in 2026 relative to the current consensus of 20% to 21%.

Additionally, Raymond James raised concerns about “Agentic Commerce risks,” which it says could position Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) as a “tweener” in the firm’s AI Stack framework because of strengthened non-Amazon e-commerce ecosystems. Other than that, the firm sees potential in Trainium/Neuron, Nova/Kira, Alexa+/Rufus, Zoox/Prime Air Drones, and robotics initiatives.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a Washington-based company that offers consumer products, advertising, and subscription services through both online and physical stores. Founded in 1994, the company is committed to becoming the world’s most customer-focused company.
