Bank of America raises price on Amazon ahead of earnings

Bank of America is getting bullish on Amazon ahead of the e-commerce giant's earnings release, saying the company is getting ready to unlock its full artificial intelligence potential in the back half of the year. Analyst Justin Post reiterated his buy rating on Amazon and lifted his price target by $17 to $265. That suggests shares could gain 16.5% from their previous close. Amazon, which is set to report financial results on July 31, has seen shares rise 3.7% year to date. Post hiked his estimates for strong second-quarter retail data and Anthropic AI growth, and said his estimates for the quarter remain above the Street given strong e-commerce data, longer Prime DAy sales and currency tailwinds. Heading into the second half of the year, the analyst expects strong AI demand and Amazon Web Services capacity growth to be a key stock driver. To be sure, he anticipates AWS growth in the second quarter to reflect a slight deceleration from the first. "Amazon's YTD commentary on AWS capacity constraints, plus recent competitor Cloud revenue acceleration has likely elevated Street focus on AWS," Post wrote in a Wednesday note to clients. "We think 2Q Retail is setting up for a solid quarter, plus a strong 1Q for AWS backlog and accelerating quarterly AWS capex spending should drive accelerating 2H AWS growth." "We think the most important commentary on the call will be 2H outlook for AWS growth (if provided), investors could become impatient on returns for ramping quarterly AWS capex spend given competitor acceleration," Post added. Looking ahead, the analyst said this year's longer Prime Day event and consumer resilience could drive a strong third-quarter outlook. Tariff uncertainty remains a key risk for the stock, he said. Amazon previously called out "tariffs and trade policies" and "recessionary fears" among several factors that could make its guidance subject to change. The tech giant topped earnings and revenue expectations for the first quarter, but had given light guidance for the second.

How one woman built a 7-figure business selling cat doors on Amazon

Lisa Harrington felt unfulfilled with her corporate life and in need of a side project. "I really didn't like my job. It wasn't going anywhere. So, I ended up, for fun, just selling stuff on eBay from my closet — old purses, shoes, anything I could get my hands on," she told Business Insider. As the items in her closet dwindled, she figured the next logical step would be creating her own product to sell online. "I just fell into this e-commerce research hole — this whole world of being able to analyze supply and demand," she said. "Eventually, I found a dog niche." She decided to sell dog harnesses, found a manufacturer through Alibaba, and ordered about $5,000 worth of inventory using her eBay earnings. The product arrived at her doorstep, and "it took me three hours to get them upstairs because it was carton after carton after carton," she said. Harrington listed and sold most of her initial inventory on eBay. This was in 2012, when selling on Amazon was still uncharted territory. But when she discovered the relatively new platform and created a listing, "they sold out within 24 hours," she said. "And so I did the math: If I actually kept this in stock, how much would I do a year in revenue? And it was easily a million dollars." Her instant success on Amazon likely had more to do with timing than her product. "In 2013, 2014, there were not many options out there, so it was easy," she said. "Every year gets harder." From dog harnesses to cat doors For years, Harrington sold dog harnesses while working her 9-to-5. She ran a lean operation from her home in Arlington, Massachusetts, using the internet as a business coach: "Google was my best friend. I taught myself how to import, how to find a factory, how to wire payment, how to do marketing, how to find a bookkeeper, how to read a profit and loss statement." By 2016, her e-commerce profit matched her salary, and she left the unsatisfying job that encouraged her to start a side project in the first place. Having gained an extra eight hours a day, she launched her second brand, Purrfect Portal, to fill a gap in the pet space. "I am a cat lady — I've always been a cat lady — and I really wanted an interior cat door," said Harrington. "When I went online, there was only one option." And it wasn't great, she added: "It was the quintessential, 'I can do this better.' I know how to do this. I've found a factory in China. I've figured out how to bring cargo from one part of the world to another." Still, designing a cat door would be a completely different and more complex project than producing dog harnesses. A mentor she found through the business program SCORE connected her with engineers and a manufacturer who would help create the plastic product. Her cat doors were profitable but not an immediate smash hit. "It was the smaller of my two businesses, and it was just chugging along and growing year by year," said Harrington, who started to notice a recurring customer comment: People were desperate for a closable door, rather than a cat door with flaps. The solution to her customer's woes was born out of a happy hour with friends. "Someone said, 'What about a miniature door? A little human door with a little doorknob and a little window and a little door knocker,'" recalled Harrington. "And everyone just lost their minds, even the non-cat people. And in my gut, I knew people would love it." It took two years to bring the happy hour vision to life, but when it launched in 2020, "people just lost their minds," she said. "It catapulted to the top of the bestseller list pretty quickly. We were selling 100 units a day." In 2025, "we're the No. 1 selling cat door on Amazon, and we have awesome patent protection on the invention," she added. BI confirmed her seven-figure revenue by reviewing her Amazon sales dashboard. Keys to succeeding on Amazon: a reliable manufacturer, a network to lean on, and an excellent product Making money on Amazon in 2025 is harder than it's ever been, said Harrington, who offered three pieces of advice to prospective sellers. First, if you don't find a reliable manufacturer, you could fail before you even list your product. "They can make or break your business in terms of really producing something that's high quality, and then also the trust around wiring money to the other side of the world," said Harrington. After nearly a decade of working with the same factory, she's making a major adjustment in response to the unpredictable tariffs. By October, "80% of our catalog is going to be made in the USA, which was not on my BINGO card," she said. The switch isn't to cut costs. In fact, producing in the States will cost her more. But she said the peace of mind is worth it: "I've honestly just had so many sleepless nights over the tariffs. I've been doing this for 10 years. I've never been in a scenario where my cost of goods could double overnight or triple overnight, and I just couldn't handle that stress anymore." The next ingredient in the success recipe is your network. You want to surround yourself with people who have already done what you're aiming to do. "I can trace so many aha moments and big successful moments in my business to conversations with certain people who are more experienced or further down the road than I am," said Harrington, who is a member of an elite group of seven-figure Amazon sellers called Million Dollar Sellers. A major perk of the membership is access to events, where Harrington can connect with peers in person. "You end up leaving with pages of notes and to-dos," she said. "There's always one conversation — it could be five minutes or an hourlong — but there's always some conversation you have with someone randomly that just completely transforms what you're going to work on when you get home." Finally, to make money on Amazon in 2025, you need to offer an excellent and unique product. "In some cases, you're competing with brands that are the factory or have a lower cost of goods, so it's really hard as an American brand to compete that way," she said. "I think to really succeed on Amazon today, you need to have a moat — and the moat is either something that is sourced in the United States, something that is very difficult to make, or intellectual property like a utility patent." Once you select your product, "make it as amazing as you possibly can, set a low price, spend on ads, and give it time."

Amazon salaries revealed: How much the cloud and retail giant pays software engineers, data scientists, and more

AI is reshaping workforces across tech, including at Amazon. At the cloud and tech giant, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has said the technology will inevitably spell job cuts, as well as increased hiring in areas like robotics and AI. In a June memo, Jassy encouraged staffers to "use and experiment with AI whenever you can," sparking backlash. Staff at certain Amazon subsidiaries must show how they use AI when applying for promotions, Business Insider previously reported. At the same time, Amazon is making a massive AI hiring push, according to data from AI job search platform Jobright. It's advertising for three times as many AI jobs as Meta, Google, and Microsoft, according to the report. Amazon's AI embrace is in line with Jassy's ongoing push to build an increasingly efficient, startup-like workforce. This has manifested in return-to-office, flattening management layers, and revamped pay models to reward high performers. Most recently, the e-commerce giant rolled out a stricter performance review process with culture as a key metric. Amazon has 1.5 million employees and onboarded roughly 11,300 foreign workers in the first quarter of 2025, according to publicly available filings that companies must make when hiring outside of the US. The filings reveal the salaries that Amazon pays for those roles, though the data only refers to foreign hires and doesn't include equity or other benefits that Amazon employees can receive in addition to their base pay. A software engineer working in the company's Amazon Web Services cloud division can pocket as much as $185,000, according to the data, while a software development engineer at can make $263,700. At data scientists and financial analysts can make as much as $230,900 and $204,028, respectively, while technical product managers can take home as much as $235,200. An Amazon spokesperson told BI that compensation packages are based on role and level and informed by location, performance, and other factors. The spokesperson said compensation is intended to attract and motivate the highest-caliber talent, and the company regularly reviews its packages to ensure they're competitive. Here's what Amazon is paying across key roles that Amazon most frequently hires from abroad, based on applications from the first quarter of 2025. Amazon Data Services Software Development Engineer: $108,826 to $223,600 Amazon Development Center US Software Development Engineer: $95,493 to $260,600 Amazon Web Services Business Intelligence Engineer: $96,678 to $176,012 Enterprise Account Engineer: $103,605 to $238,965 Professional Services: $105,997 to $218,200 Software Development Engineer: $84,094 to $223,600 Support Engineer-External: $63,835 to $160,000 Services Applied Scientist: $83,491 to $260,000 Business Analyst: $79,518 to $143,100 Business Intelligence Engineer: $193,200 Data Engineer: $70,262 to $236,344 Data Scientist: $92,040 to $230,900 Financial Analyst: $94,300 to $204,028 Manager, Software Development: $148,950 to $287,700 Product Manager: $109,782 to $200,000 Product Manager - Technical: $136,843 to $235,200 Program Manager: $81,600 to $162,700 Quality Assurance Engineer: $86,320 to $185,000 Software Development Engineer: $85,384 to $263,700 Supply Chain Manager: $77,200 to $168,000 System Development Engineer: $105,997 to $198,000
