Last Friday, several analysts revised their Amazon price targets following the Q3 report, reflecting differing views on its near-term outlook and longer-term growth prospects.

Morgan Stanley lowered its price target to $335 from $350 while maintaining an 'Overweight' rating, saying that near-term expectations for AWS "may have become too high," according to The Fly.

UBS, meanwhile, raised its target to $352 from $348, citing management's outlook for AWS growth above 40% in both fiscal 2027 and 2028, as well as its $578 billion backlog, The Fly reported.

Scotiabank cut its price target to $300 from $325, citing a delay in free cash flow conversion and a change in its valuation methodology. However, the firm maintained an 'Outperform' rating and said the long-term opportunity remains materially larger, supported by greater contracted visibility, The Fly reported.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward AMZN remained in 'extremely bullish' territory over the past 24 hours, with 'extremely high' message volumes.
