Alpha Score of 52 reflects moderate overall profile with moderate momentum, poor value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
Amazon closed at $242.67, up 40 cents. The stock hangs near the middle of its 52-week range, about 12% below the high. The P/E of 48.8 is elevated, but the company's earnings growth continues to outpace revenue growth — EPS rose 36.5% on a 14.2% revenue gain. Net margin hit 12.2%, a figure that supports the quality score of 74.7 in the Alpha model. Value remains the weak spot at 14, which tracks with the multiple. Momentum and sentiment both sit above 50, suggesting the market is not yet turning against the name. No major news broke today. The move was modest, in line with a quiet session. What to watch next: quarterly results due in late July. Analysts will be looking for margin expansion in AWS and retail margins to hold. If the growth-to-valuation gap narrows, the stock could find support nearer the 52-week high.
Amazon closed at $242.67, up 0.40%, in a session with no company-specific catalyst. The stock is 12% off its 52-week high of $274.99, a level that has held since February. The bull case rests on earnings. Amazon's diluted EPS jumped 36.5% year over year, outpacing 14.2% revenue growth. Net margins widened to 12.2% from roughly 9% a year ago, the result of cost cuts and cloud margin leverage. The market is paying 46.8 times trailing earnings, a multiple that looks less forgiving if growth slows. The 52-week low of $198.79 is 18% below current levels. That band — $240 to $275 — has contained price action for most of the year. Next quarter's cloud segment revenue and AWS growth rate will decide whether the breakout comes from the upper or lower end.
Amazon added 1.4% to $241.70, pushing back toward the upper half of its 52-week range after a stretch of sideways trading. The stock trades at 46.8x earnings, a premium that the market is still willing to pay for 14.2% revenue growth and a 36.5% EPS expansion. Net margins hit 12.2%, supporting the quality sub-score of 74.7 — the strongest pillar in the Alpha Score. The value score sits at 16.5, a reminder that this is not a cheap stock by any traditional measure. Sentiment at 66.7 reflects the mixed read: Trump's disclosed stock purchases this year — between $461M and $1.4B — include Amazon, but the tariff policy that comes with those trades creates cost pressure for the broader consumer discretionary space. Cloudflare's new x402 gateway for AI payments is a small positive for AWS's developer ecosystem, though not a revenue driver in itself. Next week's CPI print and any tariff headlines will determine whether Amazon holds above $240 or drifts back toward the $230 support zone.
Amazon shares fell 0.75% to $238.34, now 13% below the 52-week high. At 46.82 times earnings, the valuation premium still commands attention — especially as EPS grew 36.5% last year on 14.2% revenue growth. Net margin hit 12.2%, up from 8.1% a year ago. The quality sub-score of 74.7 anchors the Alpha Score at 48.5, while momentum sits at 42.2 and value at 16.5. No single headline drove the move. The Brazil stablecoin data ($2.6B in May, up 158%) and the July heat dome are macro-adjacent at best. More relevant: companies are tightening AI budgets and turning to cloud cost management tools — Amazon Web Services' FinOps teams are part of that conversation. The next read-through comes when AWS reports its segment margins next quarter. If FinOps adoption accelerates, the margin story gets a real test. Until then, the stock trades on multiple expansion and sentiment, which are both pulling back.
Amazon shares rose 3.2% to $240.14, extending a recovery from the 52-week low of $198.79. The stock now sits about 13% below the high. Revenue grew 14.2% year over year, and EPS surged 36.5%. Net margin hit 12.2%, a level that supports the quality score of 74.7 in Alpha Score. Momentum scored 40.9, value 16.5 — the cheapness is relative, not absolute. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission sued Amazon over Prime Video ads, alleging existing subscribers were forced to pay extra to skip them. That is a legal overhang, but today's move suggests the market is more focused on the earnings trajectory. Next quarter's revenue and margin data will test whether the current P/E of 46.8 holds up.
On June 12, Amazon closed a C$14 billion bond offering in five tranches, all denominated in Canadian dollars. The company sold C$1.25 billion of 3.400% notes maturing in 2029, C$2.5 billion of 3.700% notes due 2031, C$2.0 billion of 4.000% notes due 2033, C$3.5 billion of 4.350% notes due 2036 and C$4.75 billion of 5.000% notes due 2056. The aggregate public offering price was C$13.967 billion. After underwriting discounts but before other offering expenses, net proceeds came to roughly C$13.934 billion. The notes were issued under an indenture first signed in 2012 and later amended. Terms for each series were set by an officers' certificate dated June 12. The sale was registered under a shelf registration statement Amazon filed on Form S-3 in February 2026. Amazon will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, the company said in the underwriting agreement filed as an exhibit. The underwriters were not named in the 8-K summary, but the underwriting agreement itself lists them. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with Amazon's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The offering closed on June 12, the same day the 8-K was filed.
On June 8, Amazon.com entered a term loan agreement with Citibank as administrative agent and other lenders. The deal gives Amazon a $17.5 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility. Commitments to lend expire September 30 unless fully borrowed before then. Loans borrowed under the facility mature three years from the borrowing date. Amazon can prepay loans or reduce commitments without penalty, but prepaid amounts cannot be reborrowed. Interest rates are floating. The company can choose either the Alternate Base Rate plus a 0% margin or Term SOFR plus a margin of 0.625% to 0.875%, based on Amazon's credit ratings. Proceeds will go toward general corporate purposes. The credit agreement includes standard representations and warranties but no financial covenants. If an event of default occurs and is not cured, lenders can accelerate repayment and terminate commitments. The lenders and their affiliates have provided and may continue to provide various financial services to Amazon for customary fees. The full agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the 8-K.
On May 20, 2026, Amazon held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All 11 director nominees were elected, including Jeffrey P. Bezos, Andrew R. Jassy, and others. Shareholders ratified Ernst & Young as independent auditor for fiscal 2026. The advisory vote on executive compensation (say-on-pay) was approved. All six shareholder proposals were defeated: a report on charitable partnerships, additional reporting on data centers' impact on climate commitments, a report on climate commitments, a mandatory independent board chair policy, and a worker-oriented AI advisory council. Broker non-votes were present for most proposals except the auditor ratification. The filing is a routine 8-K under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Amazon.com Inc. filed its 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The company continues to monitor fair value inputs for its investments and maintains its commitment to long-term infrastructure and technology development.
On April 29, 2026, Amazon.com Inc. filed an 8-K report to formally announce its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. The filing serves as a regulatory notification that the company has released its quarterly performance data to the public. The primary content of the filing consists of the incorporation by reference of two specific exhibits: Exhibit 99.1, which contains the official press release detailing the first quarter 2026 financial results, and Exhibit 99.2, which provides supplemental information regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures in the company's public disclosures. The report was signed by Brian T. Olsavsky, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Amazon.com Inc. No further operational details or specific financial metrics were disclosed within the body of the 8-K filing itself, as the company directed stakeholders to the attached exhibits for the relevant financial data.
