Amazon’s stock valuation has dropped to its lowest level since 2008, presenting a potential buying opportunity despite recent underperformance in the AI-driven market rally. Analyst Brent Thill of Jefferies argues the stock is "mispriced, not broken," citing excessive pessimism over Amazon’s $200 billion AI investments overshadowing strong fundamentals in cloud and retail sectors. Shares fell 11% in 2026 amid concerns over elevated AI spending and perceived weak cloud growth, though Thill notes leading indicators like data-center expansion suggest underlying strength. The retail business remains resilient, contrasting with market skepticism, while Amazon’s infrastructure investments position it for long-term gains despite short-term valuation pressures. Thill projects a 46% upside potential, asserting current negativity misaligns with operational momentum and strategic positioning in AI and cloud infrastructure.

Here’s how the stock could rally 46% from here.Amazon has been left in the dust of the artificial-intelligence trade, and its valuation has sunk to a level not seen for 18 years. For some on Wall Street, that’s the signal to buy in.Shares of Amazon are “mispriced, not broken,” Jefferies analyst Brent Thill wrote in a Sunday note. Concerns over elevated AI spending and arguably lackluster cloud growth have helped drag the stock 11% lower over the course of 2026. The pessimism has reached extreme levels, according to Thill, who sees the negativity at odds with “leading indicators” such as increasing data-center capacity and strength in the retail business.About the AuthorChristine Ji is a reporter covering Big Tech.A Dow Jones CompanyCopyright © 2026 MarketWatch, Inc.
