Analyst Sentiment Remains Bullish
Despite today’s dip, analysts remain long-term bullish on Amazon stock:
- E-commerce recovery and margin expansion
- Growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and advertising revenue
- Strategic investments in AI and logistics automation
The current P/E ratio of 33.36 remains reasonable compared to historical levels, keeping Amazon attractive for growth-focused portfolios.
Key Levels and What to Watch

- Resistance seen at $188.00–$190.00
- Investor focus remains on:
