Amazon shares trade at $259.39, below the 24/7 Wall St. price target of $343.50, suggesting a 32.8% upside over the next year. Strong Q2 results show 19.6% revenue growth and 43.2% operating income growth, led by AWS's 37% growth and a $496 billion backlog. Advertising revenue also jumped 26%, supporting the bullish outlook.
