Amazon's newest Fire Sticks will no longer support sideloading of apps from outside its official app store. The company updated its developer website to confirm that all future Fire TV Sticks, starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select released in October, will run on Vega OS, Amazon's proprietary operating system that blocks unofficial apps. The newly announced Fire TV Stick HD includes a notice stating the device prevents sideloading for "enhanced security". Vega OS only permits apps published in the Amazon Appstore, though developers can still sideload on registered devices. Amazon's shift from Fire OS, an Android fork that allowed sideloading, comes amid pressure from anti-piracy groups. The move gives Amazon greater control whilst limiting access to third-party apps, affecting users who expanded device functionality beyond Amazon's ecosystem.

Goldman Sachs has lowered its price target on Amazon to $275 from $280 whilst maintaining a Buy rating ahead of the company's earnings report on 30 April 2026. The revised target still implies upside from the current share price of around $240. Analyst Eric Sheridan highlighted four key areas shaping Amazon's trajectory: AWS cloud revenue growth and AI investment returns, rising energy prices affecting margins, the commercialisation timeline for Amazon Leo, and the fast-growing advertising platform. Amazon's AI push through AWS has reached an annualised revenue run rate exceeding $15 billion, whilst its chip business surpassed $20 billion in revenue with triple-digit growth. However, capital expenditures could approach $200 billion in fiscal 2026, pressuring free cash flow despite strong overall performance showing net sales of $716.9 billion and operating income of $80 billion for the full year.
Financial Planning Navigators CORP has acquired a new stake in Amazon, purchasing 3,506 shares valued at approximately $809,000 during Q4. Amazon's stock is trading at $247.03, above its key moving averages, confirming bullish momentum across multiple timeframes. Amazon recently reported quarterly earnings of $1.95 per share on revenue of $213.39 billion, representing 13.6% year-over-year growth. The company's next earnings report is scheduled for 30 April 2026. Technical indicators show strong momentum but overbought conditions, with RSI at 72.14 and the stock up 3.01% since the previous close. Analysts expect a five-day trading range of $238–$252, with over 80% probability of further price increases, though caution is warranted given stretched technical readings.
Morgan Stanley has ranked Meta, Amazon and Google as its top picks ahead of first-quarter earnings, citing four macro themes that will shape performance through 2026. The bank highlighted revenue acceleration and GenAI return on investment signals as key drivers, whilst warning that rising 2027 capital expenditure expectations—15% above consensus for hyperscalers—may cap valuations. Morgan Stanley also flagged consumer weakness in branded advertising markets as not yet priced in. Meta remains the bank's top pick, with focus on top-line growth guidance and MetaAI rollout. For Amazon, analysts expect AWS growth of 29-31% and a path to $10-11 GAAP earnings per share by 2027. Google is projected to deliver high-teens paid search growth and 60% year-over-year cloud growth.
