Amazon's share price closed at $249.70 on April 16, trading around $248-250 intraday on April 17 amid low-volume advances near all-time highs, driven by trader optimism over AWS acceleration from surging AI demand and $25 billion data center investments. Recent TD Cowen Buy reiteration with a $300 price target highlights advertising resilience, e-commerce momentum, and fulfillment efficiencies boosting margins, contrasting earlier 2026 concerns on consumption slowdowns. Consensus analyst targets average $285-290, implying 14-16% upside. Q1 2026 earnings on April 29, with $1.65 EPS expected, loom as the key catalyst, while today's close hinges on broader market sentiment and tech sector rotation.

If the final session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Yahoo Finance after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/history, published under "Historical Prices."
