Amazon is back in the spotlight.
AMZN has surged 7% since the election, including strong intraday gains, and was trading around $268.52, up 3.66% in the trending-ticker data. The move followed a fresh buy call highlighting Amazon as a stock to buy if data-center development slows.
The bull case is simple: Amazon is not just shopping. It is cloud, AI, logistics, advertising and data-centres — a full ecosystem. If data-centre spending cools, margins and cash flow could look even stronger, and that is what has traders excited.
The $300 talk is also back. That would be nearly 12% upside from around $268. That does not mean it happens tomorrow, but it shows how sentiment has flipped from cautious to confident.
For now, the key question is: Can AMZN hold above $268 and build momentum, or does it cool off after this fast 7% run?
