Amazon.com, Inc. Stock Upgrade and Future Projections

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), a significant player in the AI sector, has recently captured the attention of investors and analysts alike. On September 24, analyst Ken Gawrelski from Wells Fargo made headlines by upgrading AMZN’s stock rating from Equal Weight to Overweight, raising the price target from $245.00 to an impressive $280.00.

Expectations for AWS Growth

Wells Fargo’s upgrade is driven by a robust belief in the accelerating revenue potential of Amazon Web Services (AWS) anticipated for the year 2026. This positive outlook is largely attributed to the upcoming Project Rainier, which focuses on significant capacity enhancements in AWS data centers.

Project Rainier: A Game Changer for AWS

Project Rainier is set to establish a specialized AWS data center in Indiana dedicated to enhancing computing capabilities, notably for Anthropic technologies. This facility is projected to commence operations in January 2026, with expectations of generating around $14 billion in annual revenue for AWS once it reaches its full capacity of 2.2 gigawatts (GW).

Forecasting Market Trends

Despite an expected market share decline for AWS, the overall growth of the cloud industry is predicted to gain momentum. Gawrelski’s analysis suggests that while AWS may see continuous share losses, the broader market expansion could offset these trends, leading to a renaissance in AWS’s revenue growth.

Risks and Challenges Ahead

While the projections appear optimistic, several risks have been noted by Wells Fargo, including:

  • Execution challenges associated with the Rainier project.
  • The performance of AWS’s Trainium chips.
  • Slow demand for core workloads.
  • Potential margin pressures linked to AI advancements.

“Upgrading AMZN to Overweight from Equal Weight reflects greater conviction in the AWS acceleration anticipated for ’26. We are adjusting our AWS growth rates to +22%, up from previous estimates of +19% and consensus at +18%. The capacity build through Project Rainier, in partnership with Anthropic, is expected to account for a substantial 5% and 4% of AWS growth in 2026 and 2027 respectively. Our adjusted 2026 and 2027 AWS revenue estimates include increases of 3% and 7%, acknowledging the influence of upcoming capacity additions. Although we forecast AWS market share losses to peak in 2025, we project gradual improvement as AWS accelerates growth, alleviating some competitive pressures.”

Long-Term Projections

Wells Fargo anticipates that, despite significant sales losses, AWS can rebound over time. By 2029, AWS share is expected to drop to 32% from 47% in 2024. Nonetheless, the broader cloud industry is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31%, expanding from $230 billion in 2024 to $870 billion.

Conclusion

Investors should regard this strategic upgrade by Wells Fargo as a pivotal point for Amazon’s future in the cloud marketplace. With Project Rainier poised to enhance AWS’s capacity significantly, the evolving landscape of AI and cloud technology will likely set the stage for Amazon’s growth trajectory in the coming years.
