  • Recent analyst price target updates highlight that views on Amazon.com’s fair value are moving, even if there is no single consensus figure for investors to anchor to.

  • These changes often reflect how analysts balance Amazon.com’s different business segments, such as retail, cloud services, and advertising, when they build their valuation models.

  • Adjustments in segment assumptions, like margins or long term investment needs, can shift what analysts see as a reasonable fair value range without any one headline number telling the whole story.

  • If you are tracking Amazon.com over time, watching how and why fair value estimates move can give you context for share price moves, rather than treating any single price target as a definitive signal.
