What happened

Investors are eyeing significant gains. The buzz centers around Amazon's stock, with some analysts suggesting it could nearly double by the end of 2027. This optimism is driven by projections from major financial institutions.

Morgan Stanley and Truist have both set ambitious price targets for Amazon. Morgan Stanley points to Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a key driver, with a potential path to $1 trillion in revenue. Truist has boosted its price target to $320, reaffirming a buy rating.

Meanwhile, Wall Street's consensus price target stands at $313, despite some short positions at $268. Barron's also notes the importance of AWS revenue in achieving this growth. The open question is whether Amazon can sustain this momentum and meet these lofty expectations.
