Sign InAmid growing anticipation for big-tech earnings, Bank of America has raised its Q2 revenue forecast for Amazon to $198.8 billion, a figure that exceeds the current market consensus. According to reports, this optimism is driven by a faster-than-expected acceleration in the AWS cloud computing division, which appears to be outperforming Wall Street's growth projections. Analysts believe this momentum will lead to higher estimates for both total revenue and operating profit.
This positive revision reflects analyst confidence in the cloud sector's ability to drive the company's financial performance in the coming period. Per market data, Bank of America's decision to increase its price target and financial estimates positions Amazon strongly ahead of its official earnings report scheduled for July 30. This move comes as investors closely monitor how artificial intelligence investments are translating into cloud service growth for mega-cap firms.
In the markets, AMZN shares stood at $243.48 (close July 22, 2026), having reached an intraday high of $248.45. As the earnings date approaches at the end of the month, traders are watching for further signals regarding retail margins alongside AWS performance. In a broader economic context, recent data showed US retail sales grew by 0.2% in June, providing a stable consumer backdrop for the e-commerce giant.
