We are at the start of earnings season kicking off in earnest, and Amazon (AMZN 1.52%) investors are ready to get a fresh update on how the business is performing. Shares were up only 5% in 2025, but as of Jan. 27 they had climbed 6% in 2026.
Should you act quickly and buy this "Magnificent Seven" stock before it reports financials after the markets close on Feb. 5?

I expect Amazon to report strong financial performance for Q4 2025, continuing a trend of upbeat results. The company's earnings per share, for instance, have exceeded Wall Street estimates in 12 straight quarters.
However, the smartest investors should be interested in buying Amazon shares regardless of the fact that its earnings report is coming up. This is one of the most dominant businesses in the world with an impressive position in various industries, like e-commerce, streaming entertainment, digital advertising, and cloud computing.
Amazon is also investing aggressively to develop the technical infrastructure needed to cater to the surging artificial intelligence demand that it's seeing.
