HERE’S WHAT ANALYSTS HAVE TO SAY AFTER $AMZN Q1 EARNINGS:

Morgan Stanley (Overweight, PT: $250)
"We remain confident AMZN will emerge stronger after this period and that its logistics leadership and GenAI-enabled advances will position it for even more (and more profitable) multi-year retail share gains. But, for now, 2H:25 and '26 visibility on the cost to deliver a leading experience for buyers and sellers remains low. [...] Our PT rises 2% to $250 (~35X '26 EPS), and we remain OW as we look for visibility on China tariffs as a catalyst for estimate revisions. Until then, we view AMZN as largely range bound, trading ~$150-$200."

Bank of America (Buy, PT: $230)
"Amazon has 'material' 3P seller revenue exposure to China and other imports, and AWS lost some ground to Azure in 1Q. [...] AWS is not seeing the benefit of ChatGPT usage like Azure, corporate spend remains steady [...] AWS growth could potentially accelerate in 2H as capacity ramps up. [...] We are raising our PO to $230 from $225 on higher estimates and stable SOP multiples."

Evercore ISI (Outperform, PT: $260)
"Shares traded off modestly on the soft Q2 Op Income guide and the lack of AWS acceleration given very strong Azure results, but we view the core near-term and long-term thesis as well intact. [...] AWS revenue growth remained consistent at 17% Y/Y, and backlog growth accelerated to 20% Y/Y – a good sign. [...] RH Operating Margins in every segment reflects ongoing and sustainable cost efficiencies."

Goldman Sachs (Buy, PT: $220)
"Q1 results slightly above the high-end of the guide across revenue and Operating Income [...] AWS revenue growth of +17% YoY was better than feared in Q1 and AMZN once again framed an expectation that the addition of new capacity in 2H25 will support AWS revenue growth. [...] We remain constructive [...] Amazon can produce a solid mix of compounded revenue growth and operating margin expansion."

Stifel (Buy, PT: $245)
"1Q headline results were better but AWS was marginally below expectations. [...] AWS growth was marginally light, but the forward commentary remains positive (capacity being consumed the moment it becomes available), and backlog growth accelerated by ~600bps. [...] Overall, we remain positive on AMZN, and only slightly revise our forward estimates."

Cantor Fitzgerald (Overweight, PT: $240)
"AWS margins expanded 250bps Q/Q to 39.5% - the highest levels on record. [...] Despite near-term uncertainties, our long-term thesis on AMZN is intact - AMZN stands to gain the most competitively during macro disruptions in both AWS and Retail businesses over the long term."

HSBC (Buy, PT: $240)
"We continue to see AMZN as exceptionally well placed and exposed to all the right structural themes. [...] AWS matters above all else (AWS is still 70% of our DCF-based SOTP value for AMZN). [...] We still see implied upside of 26% to our revised USD240 TP."

JMP Securities (Market Outperform, PT: $250)
"AWS OIM came in well above expectations. [...] AMZN's advertising business remained robust. [...] Management noted demand remains strong and growth would have been higher if not for capacity constraints which are expected to ease in 2H25."

BofA Securities (Buy, PT: $230)
"AWS lost some ground to Azure [...] Cloud growth can be lumpy [...] AWS growth could potentially accelerate in 2H as capacity ramps up. [...] We are raising our PO to $230 from $225."

Susquehanna (Positive, PT: $225)
"AMZN's 1Q was generally solid [...] AWS growth was 17% y/y ex-FX [...] We continue to view AMZN as a long-term secular grower underpinned by its strong eCommerce, cloud/AI, and advertising businesses."

Piper Sandler
"AMZN remains relentless on lowering cost to serve and appears on the cusp of an AI product cycle, although macro creates uncertainty."

Goldman Sachs now expects the first Fed rate cut in July, not June, after stronger April payrolls & ISM data better than feared. Since there's no jobs data before the June meeting, a cut then would be hard to justify—even if June's report is soft, it's just one data point.
