As of Jun 15, 2026. Market Open.
Looking at a longer-term chart, not a huge growth rate for a company of this size with its level of market share in cloud computing. Recent pop, but he's troubled by capex spending and its issuing debt. Have to ask what's the value proposition?
If you own it, don't sell, but don't back up the truck either.
His favourites right now are AMZN, NVDA, and MSFT. They're all going higher.
On the capex spend, sometimes it's a leap of faith. You're relying on these companies having some of the smartest people in the world with the most disposable capital. And those people really believe it's not a bridge to nowhere.
Undoubtedly, some companies are overdoing it and there will be another side to the mountain. But we don't know when that will be.
Viewers are probably thinking, "Aw, Kim, you picked all the big companies." But at the stage of where the market is, these big companies can definitely go higher in price. Even if something comes out of left field, these companies have the ability to work through it.
Tremendous AI momentum. AWS is a cash cow. Also has advertising; a hidden moat, because they know what we're buying. No dividend.
Peeled back his position due to concerns about the market in general. Wonderful consumer business, fabulous web services business. The hyperscalers are spending all this $$ on data centres, but we can't tell who the winner will be. The stock is tired, same as with the other Mag 7's.
Natural gas will be a winner ;) That's a better play. See his Top Picks.
Way to get exposure to both e-commerce and AI buildout. AWS powers a large part of the internet, and increasingly becoming key to companies looking to deploy AI into real-world applications. Evolving from just a cloud story to a platform enabling AI to scale.
Holding despite trading sideways. Will be a leader in the space.
What is the potential for a stock split? She doesn't know of any plans, but companies want it to be a reasonable number so there can continue to be a retail base in the stock. The market is giving this company a lot of credit. One analyst was quoted that the rules of valuation do not apply to this company. When you hear that, you wonder how much sentiment is driving the stock. To be fair, they have done a better job of generating cash flow in the last little while. However, they have a history of spending more than they make. Right now, the market is very accommodating to them. She is not participating in this stock.
