Cantor Fitzgerald has reaffirmed its Overweight rating and $320 price target for Amazon.com stock, following the company’s unBoxed 2026 conference. The firm’s target suggests significant upside potential from the current stock price of $251.52. Amazon recently unveiled several AI-powered advertising tools at the event, including Amazon Ads Agent for conversational campaign management and Full-Funnel Campaigns for automating creative, audiences, and optimization. Other new products include DVA+ for unified campaigns and Sponsored Services with Yelp.
