What Happened?
Amazon (AMZN) stock rose this week as investors focused on AWS and AI infrastructure. The biggest catalyst was Meta’s multiyear deal to use AWS Graviton chips for AI workloads. Reuters reported the agreement is expected to be worth billions of dollars.
Graviton chips are Amazon’s in-house central processing units, built to improve cloud computing efficiency. Meta will use tens of millions of Graviton CPU cores for AI systems. That matters because it validates AWS as more than a cloud rental platform.
Investor sentiment was already improving after Amazon expanded its Anthropic partnership. Amazon said Anthropic is committed to spending more than $100 billion over 10 years on Amazon Cloud technology. That gives AWS a large AI customer pipeline.
The timing also matters because Amazon reports Q1 results on April 29. In Q4, Amazon guided Q1 net sales to $173.5 billion to $178.5 billion, or 11% to 15% growth. Investors are now watching whether AWS’s growth and AI demand can support another strong quarter.

Is Amazon Stock Undervalued?
Under valuation model assumptions realized through 12/31/28, the stock is modeled using:
- Revenue growth (CAGR): 12.5%
- Operating Margins: 14.4%
- Exit P/E Multiple: 31.6x
Based on these inputs, the model estimates a target price of $392.98, implying 48.9% total upside from the current share price of $263.93 and an annualized return of 15.9% over the next 2.7 years.
Amazon trades at 34.1x forward earnings and 13.5x forward EV/EBITDA. That is not cheap, but the valuation reflects improving margins and stronger AWS momentum. The stock also trades near its 52-week high, so expectations are elevated.
Revenue reached $716.9 billion in 2025, up 12.4% year over year. Operating margin rose to 11.2%, showing that scale and cost discipline are lifting profitability. This matters because Amazon can grow earnings faster than revenue when margins expand.
The model’s 31.6x exit P/E is below Amazon’s 5-year historical level of 51.8x. That makes the valuation less aggressive than past trading levels. But it still requires steady cloud, advertising, and retail execution.
What’s Driving AMZN Stock Going Forward?
AWS remains the biggest earnings driver. CEO Andy Jassy said Amazon’s chip business, including Graviton, Trainium, and Nitro, is now above a $20 billion annual revenue run rate. He also said it is growing at triple-digit percentages year over year.
AI capital spending is the key debate. Reuters reported Jassy defended Amazon’s planned $200 billion 2026 capex, mostly tied to AI infrastructure. Investors will want proof that spending converts into durable AWS revenue.
Retail and advertising still matter because they fund Amazon’s broader investment cycle. LTM gross margin is 50.3%, and EBIT margin is 11.2%. If fulfillment efficiency and ad growth continue, Amazon can protect earnings while building AI capacity.
The next major catalyst is Q1 earnings on April 29. Investors will focus on AWS growth, AI demand, retail margins, and capex guidance. Those numbers should determine whether this week’s rally can continue.
