One analyst thinks the company is just getting started. Futurum Equities Chief Market Strategist Shay Boloor said Amazon is “on track to become the first company to cross $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2028.”
Amazon’s AI Spending Ramps Up
Amazon plans to spend about $200 billion on capital expenditures in 2026. Much of that is tied to major customer deals, including more than $100 billion in commitments from OpenAI.
The company’s custom chip lineup, Graviton and Trainium, has crossed a $20 billion annualized revenue run rate. Amazon says that business is growing at triple-digit rates.
Those chips are expected to lower costs and boost margins over time. That’s a big deal for a company running some of the largest data centers on the planet.
Amazon beat expectations in its first-quarter report back in April. Revenue came in at $181.52 billion, ahead of the $177.30 billion analysts had penciled in.
Earnings landed at $2.78 per share. That crushed the consensus estimate of $1.66 per share.
Institutional investors clearly like what they see. Cardinal Point Capital Management ULC boosted its Amazon stake by 13.6% in the first quarter, adding 4,450 shares for a total of 37,124 shares worth about $7.73 million.
Several other funds made similar moves. Brighton Jones LLC lifted its position by 10.9%, now holding over 4 million shares worth roughly $885 million.
Overall, institutional investors own 72.2% of Amazon stock. That’s a heavy concentration by any measure.
Insiders Have Been Selling
Not everyone at the top is buying, though. CEO Matthew Garman sold 15,467 shares in May at an average price of $263.40, worth just over $4 million.
SVP David Zapolsky also sold, offloading 9,270 shares at $268.53 each. Over the past 90 days, insiders have sold nearly $51.4 million worth of stock combined.
Amazon isn’t without legal headaches either. The company agreed to pay $2.25 million to settle an FTC case, and now faces a new lawsuit in Australia over alleged Prime Video ad practices.
On the brighter side, AWS just launched a $1 billion Forward Deployed Engineering unit. The goal is to embed AI engineers directly with customers to speed up enterprise adoption.
A recent Jefferies survey found 95% of IT executives plan to increase cloud spending in 2026. AWS is seen as one of the biggest beneficiaries of that trend.
Wall Street’s price targets reflect the optimism. Stifel Nicolaus set a $319 target, while Susquehanna raised its target to $325 with a “positive” rating.
Fifty-seven analysts currently rate Amazon a Buy, versus three Hold ratings. MarketBeat lists a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating with an average price target of $312.78.
Amazon’s 50-day moving average sits at $255.10, while its 200-day average is $234.31. The stock has a PE ratio of 28.53 and a beta of 1.44.
