Quick Summary
- ChatGPT thinks Amazon stock could trade higher over the next 60 days, projecting an average price around $242.30 by mid-April.
- Investors looking to express a view can build exposure incrementally using commission-free fractional shares on SoFi, starting with as little as $5, and new users can receive up to $1,000 in free stock.
- Rather than slowly scaling position size through a retail account, some active traders use prop firms like Apex Trader Funding to access funded futures accounts of up to $300,000 after a single evaluation.
Shares of Amazon traded slightly higher over the past month, reflecting optimism around AWS momentum offsetting softer consumer signals. The company's underlying fundamentals remain strong, supported by a significant reacceleration in cloud computing demand and a continued focus on retail efficiency.
Against that backdrop, we ran Amazon through an AI price-prediction agent powered by OpenAI’s GPT. The goal was to see how a data-driven model handicaps the next 60 days for a stock that has become shorthand for the entire AI trade.
What the AI model is actually predicting
The agent was asked to generate a 60-day outlook for Amazon, using recent price action and a focused set of technical indicators. At the time of the run, Amazon traded at $238.52. For the period through April 20, the model’s base-case projection came out to:
- Average predicted price: $242.30
- Implied move: slightly higher over the next month
- Signal snapshot: MACD and RSI both skewed positive
The model is saying that, given current momentum and volatility, the most likely path is a modest grind higher from current levels. Still, broader AI price prediction says that Amazon could hit $500 by 2030.
If you’re watching that setup and want a straightforward way to express the view, SoFi’s own platform lets users start with as little as $5 in fractional shares, and new users can receive up to $1,000 in free stock.
This predicted stability is rooted in the reacceleration of Amazon Web Services. As of early 2026, AWS has navigated the “optimization” phase, where customers were cutting costs, pivoting instead to an expansion phase driven by Generative AI. With AWS revenue growth climbing back, the cloud segment is once again acting as the primary engine for Amazon’s operating income.
Beyond the cloud, Amazon's margin leverage is becoming the story of the 2026 fiscal year. CEO Andy Jassy's multiyear effort to regionalize the U.S. fulfillment network has finally paid off, with shipping costs dropping even as delivery speeds reach record highs.
By utilizing custom AI silicon like Trainium3 and Graviton5, Amazon is also lowering its own internal infrastructure costs, allowing for a “flywheel effect” where higher efficiency leads to lower prices for AWS customers and higher margins for shareholders.
Wall Street, for now, is leaning into growth. Across major platforms, analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus with 12-month price targets clustering in the mid $280s to mid $300s. Some of the more aggressive firms see upside into the high $320s if Amazon maintains its dominant share in the cloud computing market. Even the median targets imply an upside from current levels.
The AI forecast can be viewed as a short-term temperature check on how steadily AWS growth and margin leverage might extend Amazon’s uptrend amid consumer stabilization.
