Amazon Stock Rises on OpenAI Deal, Analysts Bullish
Amazon shares surged 4% Monday following a $38 billion multi-year partnership with OpenAI, granting the AI firm access to Nvidia GPUs hosted on AWS. Wedbush analyst Scott Devitt raised his price target to $340, citing long-term growth potential from the collaboration.
The deal builds on Amazon's existing AI infrastructure investments, including its Anthropic partnership. AWS revenue growth accelerated last quarter, with AI demand driving cloud segment performance. Amazon stock has gained 12% over five sessions and 16% year-to-date.
