Wedbush Raises Amazon Price Target to $280 on Cloud and Retail Strength
Wedbush analyst Scott Devitt increased Amazon's price target from $250 to $280, maintaining a Buy rating ahead of its Q3 earnings report. The adjustment reflects confidence in AWS's long-term growth despite recent slowdowns, bolstered by a robust cloud backlog and aggressive data center investments.
Retail momentum and advertising gains further support the bullish outlook. Devitt projects Q3 revenue at $179.37B, surpassing consensus estimates. Catalysts include cost-cutting automation initiatives and potential monetization of Project Kuiper, the satellite internet venture.
