July 30 results still matter

According to MarketBeat, Amazon reported USD 5.75 earnings per share on July 30, 2026, beating the consensus estimate of USD 1.82 by USD 3.93. The same report put revenue at USD 200.61 billion, above the USD 197.03 billion estimate, while net margin reached 17.44 percent.

That combination gave investors a concrete comparison point: revenue rose 19.6 percent year over year, and EPS improved from USD 1.68 in the same quarter of 2025 to USD 5.75. Research analysts quoted by MarketBeat still list a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target price of USD 321.19.

Analysts stay constructive

According to MarketBeat, Wells Fargo lifted its target to USD 338.00 from USD 328.00 on September 3, 2026, while Sanford C. Bernstein kept an Outperform view with a USD 320.00 target. The same source also cites JPMorgan at USD 365.00 and Benchmark at USD 400.00, showing how wide the current target range remains.

For investors, the gap between the USD 253.71 quote and the USD 321.19 consensus target is the central market metric after the latest earnings print. A current PEG ratio of 1.97 and a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.41 frame that valuation discussion.

Stock near the range midpoint

The stock closed the latest session at USD 253.71 on Nasdaq, with volume of 52.27 million shares and a previous close of USD 251.19. Against the 52-week range of USD 196.00 to USD 287.20, the share price sits closer to the middle than to either extreme.
