    *Revenue and Net Income in Billions

    In the last decade, Amazon's revenue grew about 540% while its net income moved from losing money to 30.42 billion in profits this past year. The ride up wasn't always smooth, however. For example, in 2020, sales jumped 38%, and net income nearly doubled. 2021 saw a continued boom as people moved to e-commerce shopping during Covid. However, all those sales being "pulled forward" led to challenges in 2022, and the company swung to a surprise loss. As Amazon embarks into the back half of the decade, a few different key areas will determine its performance.

    3 Key Drivers of Amazon's Stock Performance
    1. E-Commerce Success: While Covid brought record sales to Amazon, it also led to many competitors investing heavily to compete with Amazon online. While e-commerce is still just 15% of retail sales, putting up huge growth rates in online sales won't be as easy in the coming years as it was a decade ago.
    2. Amazon Web Services: Amazon Web Services 1st quarter 2024 revenue was $25.04 billion and the unit should break $100 billion in total sales this year. However, the unit’s 13% year-over-year growth isn't as fast as competing cloud services like Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Azure and Google's (Nasdaq: GOOGL) Cloud. Amazon is at risk of falling behind Microsoft before 2030 if it can't stop market share losses.
    3. Advertising: Amazon exits 2023 with a $47 billion advertising business that grew 24% in 2023. Advertising has the ability to be another high-margin business line - Amazon currently gets most of its profits from its AWS cloud business - which has led the company past $100 billion in annual profits.

    The current consensus 1-year price target for Amazon stock is $220.00, which is a 17.00% upside from today’s stock price of $188.05. Of all the analysts covering Amazon, the stock is a consensus buy, with a 1.37 “Buy” rating.

    24/7 Wall Street's 12-month forecast projects Amazon’s stock price to be $225. We see AWS continue its current 12% growth rate but see Amazon’s advertising business outperforming analyst expectations, particularly in the 4th quarter of 2024 with more streaming ad impressions being sold.

    Amazon (AMZN) Stock Forecast Through 2030
    • AWS : Assuming AWS stems its market share loss and investments in AI to counterbalance the threat from Microsoft and Google.
    • E-Commerce : Amazon continues to pour investments into e-commerce, forgoing added profits to maintain market share. Our case model assumes growth in new logistics and efficiencies from robotics in warehouses leads to this unit finally delivering strong operating profits.
    • Advertising: Amazon's advertising continued to grow and the now $47 billion business unit and we see a high teens growth rate compounded annually.

    Add all these numbers up and take out some amount for "new bets" the company will surely be investing in (and a potential dividend boost )and we see revenue in 2030 at $1.15 trillion and $131 billion in net income. Today, the company trades for about 50X earnings, which we'll take down to 35 times as the company matures (but continues showing growth). In our analysis, Amazon is worth $2.6 trillion in 2030. Here are our revenue, net income, and company size estimates through 2030:

    Revenue Net Income Total Enterprise Value
    2024 $638 $48.56 $1.93
    2025 $710 $62.13 $2.12
    2026 $788 $79.68 $2.19
    2027 $867 $96.53 $2.29
    2028 $957 $114.17 $2.39
    2029 $1,049 $136.69 $2.5
    2030 $1,149 $131.39 $2.6

    Amazon's Share Price Estimates 2025-2030 https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4R22Kl_0wCDY53O00

    How Amazon's Next 5 Years Could Play Out

    We expect to see revenue growth of just over 11% and EPS of $5.74 for 2025. We expect the stock to still trade at a similar multiple next year, putting our estimate for the stock price for Amazon at $287 in 2025, which is 52.62% higher than the stock is trading today.

    Going into 2026, we estimate the price to be $371, after revenue estimates to come in around 10% higher year-over-year. With an EPS of $7.42 and in our opinion the last year Amazon trades near its current P/E of 50, 2026 could mark the year Amazon starts trading at a more mature valuation closer to 35 times earnings. That would represent a 97.29% gain over today’s share price of $188.05.

    Heading into 2027, we expect the stock price increase not to be as pronounced as more tempered growth is expected from Amazon and even with earnings estimates of $8.80 per share, the stock price target for the year is $308.00. That is a 17% year hit from the previous year, but still up 63.79% from today’s stock price.

    When predicting more than 3 years out, we expect Amazon to continue growing its top line at 10% but be more efficient and operating margins to grow. In 2028, we have Amazon’s revenue coming in around $957 billion and an EPS of $10.34 suggesting a stock price estimate at $361.90 or a gain of 92.45% over the current stock price.

    24/7 Wall Street expects Amazon to continue its 10% revenue growth again and to generate $12.30 per share of earnings. With a price-to-earnings multiple of 35, the stock price in 2029 is estimated at $430.50, or a gain of 128.93% over today’s price.

    Amazon Stocks Price Target for 2030

    We estimate Amazon’s stock price to be $370 per share with 10% year-over-year revenue growth but compressed margins from more competition in its AWS unit. Our estimated stock price for Amazon will be 97.10% higher than the current stock price, marking a double in Amazon’s stock price today of 188.05.

    Year Price Target % Change From Current Price
    2024 $226.50 Upside of 20.45%
    2025 $287.00 Upside of 52.62%
    2026 $371.00 Upside of 97.29%
    2027 $308.00 Upside of 63.79%
    2028 $361.90 Upside of 92.45%
    2029 $430.50 Upside of 128.93%
    2030 $370.65 Upside of 97.10%
