Wall Street’s Amazon crush continues
B of A Securities analyst Justin Post didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel here — he kept Amazon at Buy — but he did slide the price target up to $298 from $275. That’s the kind of move that says, “We still like the story, just a little more enthusiastically now.”
Why you should care
For Amazon shareholders, higher price targets can matter because they shape the mood music around the stock. It doesn’t change the business overnight, but it can reinforce the idea that investors are paying for more than just Prime packages and slightly-too-tempting one-click purchases.
The market loves a fresh target
Analyst calls like this are basically Wall Street’s version of a thumbs-up with math attached. When a major bank raises its target, it can give bulls a little extra ammo — especially for a mega-cap name like Amazon, where sentiment, cloud growth, and margin chatter all get tangled together like earbuds in a backpack.
Big picture: this isn’t a blockbuster revelation, but it is a quietly positive signal that at least one big shop thinks Amazon still has more upside left in the tank.
