Amazon Stock Rises on Positive Outlook from Citizens Analysts

Amazon's stock price is rising on Monday, driven by a positive outlook from analysts at Citizens. They have reiterated their Market Outperform rating and $315 price target for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), citing strong revenue growth at OpenAI and Anthropic as a signal for cloud providers like AWS.

Citizens analyst Andrew Boone believes that the trend of frontier AI developers growing rapidly is a good sign for companies renting out underlying computing power, such as AWS. He sees this trend as evidence that the massive sums poured into building and training AI models are paying off once those models get put to work answering real queries.

The technical picture also remains bullish, with Amazon's chart showing upward movement despite sitting near short-term support. The stock is trading about 5% above its 50-day moving average of $250.15 and roughly 10.2% above its 200-day average of $238.39.
