Amazon Shares Fall 7.3% After Hours, Miss Analyst Target Amid Q3 Earnings Miss
Current overview (not historical)
Amazon’s stock fell 7.30% in after‑hours trading to $225.99, slipping below the $230 key level and hitting the lowest analyst target of $225.99. The drop was driven by third‑quarter earnings that missed expectations and a continued negative free cash flow, even as Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue grew 39% to $46 billion. CEO Andy Jassy announced plans for significant spending increases through 2027, which may have contributed to investor concern. While AWS growth remains strong, the overall earnings miss and cash flow issues have weighed on the stock’s valuation, prompting analysts to reassess their price targets for the company. The event highlights the tension between AWS’s robust revenue growth and Amazon’s broader profitability challenges.

- BeInCryptoRelated fact: single sourceAmazon Shares Drop 7.3% After Hours, Falling Below Lowest Analyst Target
Report first recorded Oct 30, 14:49
Amazon’s stock fell 7.30% in after‑hours trading to $225.99, dropping below $230, the lowest of 42 analyst price targets tracked by TipRanks. The decline followed a third‑quarter earnings miss: EPS of $1.89 versus the $1.96 consensus and revenue of $201.9 billion versus the $202.3 billion estimate. Free cash flow was negative for a second consecutive quarter, and the 12‑month free‑cash‑flow outflow widened to $42.4 billion from $7.6 billion as AI‑related spending rose. Amazon’s AWS segment grew 39% to roughly $46 billion, but the company’s operating‑income guidance for Q4 is $31 billion, below the $33 billion consensus, and CEO Andy Jassy said it will spend significantly more in 2027. The after‑hours drop widened the gap between the current price and the average Wall Street target of $332.26, which is about 47% above the after‑hours level.
