AMZN stock analysis: one number for the whole business

Consensus tells you what everyone already believes. The model scores Amazon.com, Inc. on its factor families — the same systematic rank behind the Ticker Nerd portfolio.

Revisions (93): Analysts have, on balance, been raising their forecasts.

Accruals (22): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.

Size (0): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

The Ticker Nerd Read

Analysts raise forecasts while our model ranks AMZN mid-pack.

As of August 22, 2026, our factor model ranks Amazon.com 48.7 of 100 against the roughly 4,600 US stocks we track, close to the middle of the field. The score is carried by Estimate Revisions (92.7), Quality (82.3) and Growth (81.4), all strong readings. Value (30.8), Investment/Accruals (22.1) and Debt/Equity Issuance (25.5) drag it, and a Market-Cap factor near zero — the stock is among the largest we track — pulls the overall number down.

The Street sits well above the shares. As of August 21, 2026, Amazon closed at $258.65, while the 60 analysts covering it carried a $325 median price target, and 58 of 60 rated it buy or strong buy. That consensus is other people's forecast, and our mid-pack rank does not share its conviction.

The reading turns on the direction of analyst forecasts: the current-year consensus EPS estimate rose 44.3% over 90 days to $12.42 as of August 20, 2026, with 45 analysts raising in the past month against one cut. The weakest drivers — Investment/Accruals (22.1) and Debt/Equity Issuance (25.5) — track how much profit has arrived as cash and how the balance sheet is growing. A shift in capital spending or forecast flow would change the picture.

The 60 Wall Street analysts covering Amazon.com, Inc. have a median 12-month price target of $325, with estimates ranging from $230 to $405. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.

Will AMZN stock go up?

No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 60 analysts implies +25.7% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Amazon.com, Inc. 49 out of 100 as at 22 Aug 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.

What is the AMZN stock forecast for 2030?

No analyst covering Amazon.com, Inc. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for AMZN are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $230 to $405 over the next 12 months.

How has AMZN stock performed over the past year?

Amazon.com, Inc. returned +16.5% over the 12 months to 21 Aug 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.

What does Amazon.com, Inc. do?

Amazon.com runs one of the world's largest e-commerce marketplaces, selling goods directly and through third-party sellers, with a Prime subscription program, fast delivery, and a logistics network. Amazon Web Services is a major cloud platform that companies use for computing infrastructure, storage, and application deployment.

What is the latest news on AMZN?

The most recent item we track (The Motley Fool, 24 Aug 2026): "UPS Stopped Carrying 2 Million Amazon Packages a Day. Amazon Still Has to Move Them.". UPS eliminated roughly 2 million lower-quality Amazon packages per day from its network. Amazon's logistics arm delivered an estimated 6.7 billion US parcels in 2025, surpassing the volume handled by the US Postal Service.

Why do Amazon's earnings and its cash flow diverge?

In the March 2026 quarter, net income was $30.3 billion while free cash flow was negative $18.2 billion, because capital expenditure of $43.2 billion ran ahead of operating cash flow of $26.0 billion. That gap is why our Investment/Accruals factor ranks only 22.1 of 100: it reads profit that has not yet arrived as cash.
