Amazon (AMZN<\/a> +1.94%) stock has a real shot at doubling over the next four years. Analysts are projecting about 20% annual earnings growth, while the stock trades at 20 times forward earnings.<\/p>\n

Using Amazon’s recent share price of $251.35 on Sept. 9, 2026, 100 shares would cost $25,135. Four years of 20% earnings growth would roughly double earnings. If the stock is still trading at 20 times earnings in four years, which is a reasonable valuation<\/a>, the stock could double too, turning that stake into about $50,000.<\/p>\n

What analysts seem to be counting on is double-digit revenue growth with higher margins driving faster earnings growth. This is definitely in the cards, given management’s recent comments and the sources of revenue growth.<\/p>\n

Amazon’s most profitable business just grew 37% year over year<\/p>\n

Amazon’s trailing 12-month revenue hit $775 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 15.8% year over year. Most of Amazon’s growth is coming from non-retail businesses that generate much higher margins than e-commerce. This includes revenue from advertising, seller services, subscriptions, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Overall, revenue from all non-retail sources grew 24% year over year in Q2, reaching $124 billion.<\/p>\n

AWS is the main engine, with its revenue rising 37% year over year in Q2 2026 to $42 billion. Growth is accelerating, with a massive $496 billion backlog to work through.<\/p>\n

Demand for cloud services and AI compute — especially workloads running on Amazon-designed chips — has CEO Andy Jassy bullish about AWS’s trajectory. He believes AWS could become a $1 trillion annual revenue business over time. That is significant because AWS is already doing all the heavy lifting for Amazon’s profits, generating 60% of the company’s operating income last quarter.<\/p>\n

Custom chips can lower costs and improve AWS margins<\/p>\n

Amazon’s earnings rose 242% year over year in Q2 to $5.75 per share, though much of that increase came from non-operating gains tied to its investment in Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Even so, margins are improving. Amazon’s trailing 12-month operating margin climbed to 12.7%, up from 6.5% in 2023. That points to real leverage as revenue grows faster than operating expenses.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, demand for Amazon’s custom chips (Trainium and Graviton) is now generating more than $25 billion in annualized revenue and growing at triple-digit rates. That can lower costs for customers and, more importantly, lift AWS margins.<\/p>\n

In the 2025 shareholder letter, Jassy wrote: “At scale, we expect Trainium will save us tens of billions of capex dollars per year, and provide several hundred basis points of operating margin advantage versus relying on others’ chips for inference.”<\/p>\n

Amazon’s earnings may not grow every quarter, as the company absorbs higher transportation costs and ramps up spending on new data center capacity.<\/p>\n

Still, analysts see the same tailwinds and headwinds and are modeling a little over 20% annualized earnings growth over the next several years. Billionaire Bill Ackman<\/a>, whose Pershing Square holds a large position in Amazon<\/a>, has the same forecast. If AWS continues to track toward management’s expectations, Amazon can deliver, putting the share price on track to potentially double by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon (AMZN +1.94%) stock has a real shot at doubling over the next four years.
