Shares of Amazon.com have gained +17.1% over the past year against the Zacks Internet – Commerce industry’s gain of +20.2%. The company’s top-line is driven by steady momentum in Prime and AWS. A strengthening AWS services portfolio and its growing adoption rate contributed notably to AWS performance. Ultrafast delivery services and expanding content portfolio were beneficial.

Strengthening relationship with third-party sellers was a positive. Robust advertising business contributed well. Amazon’s expanding global presence, growing capabilities in grocery, pharmacy, healthcare and autonomous driving are key positives. Deepening focus on GenAI is a major plus. The Zacks analyst expect 2025 net sales to increase 8.5% from 2024.

However, Amazon announced mixed guidance for the second quarter. High tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on goods imported from China have cast uncertainty on retailers such as Amazon. AMZN’s free cash flow has decreased significantly.
