From Nasdaq: 2025-04-21 10:28:00

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) is set to announce its fiscal first-quarter earnings for 2025 on May 1. Analysts expect a profit of $1.37 per share, a 21.2% increase from the previous year. For the full year, EPS is projected to rise to $6.33, up 14.5%. Despite underperforming the S&P 500 and XLY, analysts remain bullish on AMZN stock, with a potential upside of 47.2%.

Increased regulatory scrutiny, competition, and tariffs on Chinese products have contributed to Amazon’s underperformance. China-based sellers account for over 50% of sales on its third-party marketplace, while AWS may face higher costs from tariffs affecting IT spending. Despite these challenges, Amazon reported strong Q4 results with revenue up 10.5% year over year and EPS increasing by 86%.

Analysts maintain a bullish outlook on AMZN stock, with a majority giving it a “Strong Buy” rating. The average price target is $254.15, suggesting a potential upside of 47.2%.
