Amazon Stock Receives $330 Target Upgrade From Phillip Securities on Strong AWS Momentum
Yahoo Finance ·
On Monday, November 2, 2026, Phillip Securities elevated its rating on Amazon from Accumulate to Buy while increasing its price target from $320 to $330. Analyst Helena Wang attributed the positive revision to robust demand for Amazon Web Services, which validates the corporation's elevated capital expenditures. Following the announcement, Amazon shares climbed 5.22% in morning trading. The optimism builds on last week's stellar third-quarter financial report, showing total net sales of $201.9 billion, a 12% rise, alongside a 39.3% surge in cloud revenue to $46.0 billion—the segment's fastest expansion in nearly five years. Operating income reached a record $28.1 billion, yielding a 13.9% margin. Although aggressive infrastructure spending strains free cash flow, the brokerage emphasized that strong demand visibility, custom silicon, and a model-agnostic artificial intelligence strategy fully justify the heavier outlays. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, management projected net sales between $240 billion and $247 billion, with operating income anticipated to land in the $28.5 billion to $33.5 billion range.
