Evercore research analysts have lowered their price target for Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) from $335 to $285, while maintaining an 'outperform' rating on the e-commerce giant's stock. This comes as several other analysts have also adjusted their price targets and ratings for Amazon in recent months.

Why it matters

Amazon's stock price has been volatile in recent months as the company navigates economic headwinds and faces increased competition in its core retail and cloud computing businesses. Analyst price target adjustments can significantly impact investor sentiment and the stock's trading performance.

The details

In a report released on Friday, Evercore analysts cited a number of factors for lowering Amazon's price target, including concerns about the company's profit margins and growth trajectory.
