Is Amazon stock a buy right now?

Analysts lean positive after 12 Buy calls in December and a supportive setup from AWS generative AI and ads growth. Valuation at roughly 32x P/E needs execution to continue. Consider staging entries, using stop levels near moving averages, and sizing for FX risk in Germany. Always match risk to your time horizon.

What is the latest Amazon price target consensus?

Recent December calls averaged $303.50 in USD, with a wider range from about $235 to $340 across coverage. Evercore ISI sits at $335, citing AI, ads, and cash flow. For German investors, convert to EUR at your broker’s live rate and factor in costs and taxes when planning exits.

How could AWS generative AI impact AMZN in 2026?

Generative AI can lift cloud spend per customer, expand high-margin services, and deepen lock‑in for enterprise clients. If AWS lands more model training and inference workloads in Europe, margins and cash flow can improve, supporting the premium on Amazon stock. Risks include slower enterprise budgets and competitive pricing.

What should German investors focus on before earnings?

Watch AI deal announcements, ad revenue momentum, and capex guidance for 2026. Technically, track the 50-day near 231 and the 200-day near 217 as reaction zones. Plan entries in EUR, consider FX hedging if needed, and review tax treatment on US equities held via German brokers.
