Analysts revise Amazon stock-price targets ahead of Q2 earnings report
Analysts revise Amazon stock-price targets ahead of Q2 earnings report originally appeared on TheStreet. If you don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, look again. Washington state's largest city gets a lot of stormy weather, but one investment firm is seeing nothing but blue skies for Amazon () this week. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 The e-commerce and cloud-services giant is scheduled to report second-quarter results on July 31 after the closing bell, and Wedbush analysts are looking beyond the clouds in a research note entitled "Seattle Sunny Summer Skies." Investor sentiment is broadly positive, the investment firm said, with expectations improving in recent weeks following May's disappointing second-quarter guidance. Still, profitability forecasts for the year remain depressed as investors weigh the impact of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff agenda. macroeconomic uncertainty, currency risk, rising expenses to support artificial-intelligence initiatives, and an uncertain cost trajectory associated with Project Kuiper, Amazon's satellite network. The company said that at Kennedy Space Center it recently opened a 100,000-square-foot payload-processing facility that prepares satellites for launch. Amazon CEO: No major price increases "We think the risk/reward is attractive, and we see opportunity for Amazon to deliver upside to current operating-income expectations," Wedbush said. The firm said it was focusing on Amazon's retail performance and consumer-demand trends; widening operating margins supported by a product-mix shift to wider-margin revenue; momentum within the Amazon Web Services cloud division, and emerging monetization of its AI efforts. More Tech Stocks: Analyst who correctly predicted Rocket Lab stock surge resets forecast Verizon Q2 earnings report surprises with remarks on tax reform Fund manager who forecast Nvidia stock rally reboots outlook Wedbush, which maintained its outperform rating on Amazon and boosted its price target to $250 from $235, said it was also monitoring capital-spending requirements to support infrastructure and AI investments, plus persistent growth within the advertising business. "We expect Amazon's [market-share] gains of e-commerce and total retail to continue, supported by faster shipping speeds and growing penetration in household essentials," the firm's analysts said. Wedbush said Amazon continued to increase market share in total retail, and the U.S. backdrop is favorable in Q2. Management in May said that the company had not seen any indication of softening demand in the core retail business. In June, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC's Jim Cramer that the tech giant hadn't seen significant price increases. "We did a lot of forward buying several months ago, and then a lot of our sellers, our third-party selling partners, forward deployed a lot of inventory to avoid some of the issues with the uncertainty around where tariffs are going to settle,' he said. Jassy said Amazon had about two million sellers in its marketplace. Even if some sellers pass on the costs of the Trump administration's tariffs to customers by raising prices, he said, many instead will 'take share and not increase prices.' Analyst: Data show better-than-expected quarter Jassy called generative AI 'the most transformative technology of our lifetime" and predicted that "many, perhaps most, consumers will have robots in the home sometime in the next 10 years or so.' Amazon shares are up 27% from a year ago and up about 5% investment firms also issued research notes ahead of Amazon's earnings. Stifel analyst Mark Kelley raised his price target on the company to $262 from $245 and affirmed a buy rating on the shares, according to The Fly. Heading into Q2 earnings for the investment firm's e-commerce and consumer app coverage, the analyst said third-party data suggest a better-than-expected quarter as the Trump administration has either struck more favorable deals or pushed out tariff implementation while waiting for deals. The investment firm was "too conservative in our models" after Trump's early-April tariff reveal, he said. Stifel has raised some other estimates within the sector. Wells Fargo raised its target on Amazon to $245 from $238 and maintained an equal weight rating. The firm estimated that the AI startup Anthropic should contribute about 1 percentage point of additional growth to AWS revenue in the second half compared with the first half, +2.4% vs. +1.3%. That supports the potential for stock outperformance in the second half of 2025, the firm said. Amazon has invested about $8 billion in Anthropic. Wells Fargo sees the 2026 contribution from Anthropic increasing to +3.1%, reinforcing the case for second-half growth to continue throughout 2026 as Anthropic inference revenue scales. Further, the firm sees inference as driving more than 75% of Anthropic's revenue contribution in 2026. And it sees AI's total contribution to AWS scaling to 10% in 2026 from less than 3% in revise Amazon stock-price targets ahead of Q2 earnings report first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

In first store partnership, Ikea opening mini-showrooms in Best Buys
Ikea is teaming up with another retailer for the first time: Best Buy. The Swedish home goods giant will feature kitchen and laundry products inside mini-showrooms at select Best Buy locations. The store-in-stores will feature Best Buy appliances. The first 10 shops will launch in Florida and Texas and will be similar to the Ulta hubs in Targets and Sephora mini-stores in Kohl's. Best Buy declined to comment on when a location might reach its home state. The move reflects Best Buy's broader push to expand beyond its core electronics business, including the upcoming launch of a third-party marketplace. For Ikea, it offers a chance to tap into new markets as it looks to grow its U.S. footprint. 'Our focus is on creating new experiences for our customers that help them discover what technology can do for them, and this partnership with Ikea is a great example of how we're bringing this to life in our stores,' Patrick McGinnis, chief merchandising officer at Best Buy, said in a statement. The new locations will be staffed by Ikea designers and will offer consultation services. The first locations will open in the fall. Best Buy declined to comment on the financial side of the partnership. Compared with CVS Pharmacy at Target, where the retailer acts more as a landlord, Best Buy and Ikea are working 'collectively to provide holistic furnishing and appliance experiences,' the company said. Two stores also will serve as Ikea fulfillment centers, allowing customers of the home superstore to pick up their orders from a participating Best Buy location. Ikea, which prides itself on cost-consciousness and simplicity, is actively expanding its presence in the U.S., including smaller format Plan & Order stores like the one in Rosedale Center. 'This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live,' said Rob Olson, chief operating officer at Ikea U.S. The company plans to invest $2.2 billion in the U.S. market. In Texas, Ikea announced three new stores, all expected to open by the end of 2025 or early 2026. There are currently 10 stores in Texas and six in Florida. Ikea's large-format store like the one across from Mall of America in Bloomington — which most U.S. shoppers are familiar with — averages around 300,000 square feet. The newer, smaller locations typically average between 40,000 and 60,000 square feet. The Ikea hubs at Best Buy will be 1,000 square feet. Ikea operates 487 stores; 52 of them are in the U.S. 'Our vision for a perfect shop-in-shop experience is simple: We want customers to be able to envision their life at home,' Olson said. Best Buy has posted a decline in comparable sales for all quarters dating back to fiscal year 2023, aside from a 0.5% increase in the fourth quarter. The Minnesota-based retailer will report its second quarter earnings Aug. 28. The company also shed health tech startup Current Health in June. Best Buy declined to comment on details of the sale. It was reportedly purchased for $400 million four years ago. The retailer's third-party marketplace is expected to launch 'midyear,' CEO Corie Barry said on a first quarter earnings call. The low-risk, high-reward endeavor allows Best Buy to more closely compete with Amazon and other online retailers. 'This will allow us to bring our customers access to much more expansive assortments and new categories without needing to own the inventory,' Barry told analysts in March.
