Even though Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock has fallen by more than 13% over the past two weeks from its all-time high (ATH), Eric Sheridan, a Wall Street analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS), expects a bull rally towards a new peak over the next 12 months.
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, Sheridan reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating for Amazon stock, according to a note sent to clients. The bank also reaffirmed its 12-month price target for AMZN at $375.
As Amazon’s price traded at approximately $249.15 at the time of writing, this analyst indicates a possible 50.51% gain by October 1, 2027.
Goldman Sachs based its bullish thesis for Amazon stock on the company’s compounded revenue growth and operating margin expansion on a multi-year horizon. As such, this firm added AMZN stock to its United States Conviction List.
