This summary was created by AI, based on 80 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts provide a mixed perspective on Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) as it continues to navigate through its diverse business channels, including e-commerce, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and AI advancements. While AWS shows promising growth and significant contributions to profits, concerns about high capital expenditures and job cuts raise questions regarding future profitability. The retail sector is reinvigorating, contributing to overall stability. Investment in AI and automation is seen as a long-term strength, yet there is caution due to current market sentiment which points toward a wait-and-see approach. Despite being perceived as somewhat 'tired,' many analysts still believe in AMZN's strong fundamentals and future growth potential in a shifting landscape, especially in AI and cloud computing.

BUY
It stands out from the group and will be a winner from this crisis if anyone is. He thinks their success will remain after this crisis is over. They will continue to be a big winner.
TOP PICK
This stock is not cheap but is a stock for the times. (Analysts’ price target is $2465.49)
TOP PICK
He thinks people will still be happy to sit at home and shop even after this crisis is over. There will also be a shift toward their cloud business. (Analysts’ price target is $2425.12)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Currently at resistance levels. He owns a 3.5-5.5% position. He hasn't touched this in six months, thank goodness. Many investors are now realizing how valuable this company is in good times and bad, as reflected in the current stock price. One area that will explode for them is Amazon Go convenience stores, these walk-out stores, which will be the next billion-dollar business and push the stock above $2,300. There will opportunities to buy this during earnings season. He buys in thirds, one at a time.
COMMENT

AMZN vs BABA? He thinks AMZN is safer at the moment. It could see earnings actually rise in the near term. People are using them to get essentials at home. The consumer staple space is fairing better than consumer discretionary. He likes what AMZN is doing longer term. They control 40% of the global cloud capacity.

TOP PICK
Has growth potential and is outperforming the market during this downturn, despite its high valuation. The stay at home play works for it as people ship online for things like groceries. End-March to July is seaonality. (Analysts’ price target is $2417.51)
BUY

Certainly you should look at all high tech names, especially those with a monopoly. He prefers AMZN-Q and MSFT-Q. If Trump did not tell companies to move out of China, then certainly CoVid19 did.

DON'T BUY

AMZN vs. MSFT Prefers Microsoft, and can justify the valuation at these levels, but wait for a pullback of 5-10% to buy. MSFT has a very strong balance sheet and net cash position. It's transitioning to a subscription model. Cloud business is growing well. For 1-2 year horizon, MSFT will continue to do well.

TOP PICK
They invested a year in one-day delivery and proved it at Christmas. The stock has broken out and will lead in 2020. AWS will grow 30-35% a year. A must-own. (Analysts’ price target is $2411.52)
BUY

It's really a loss-leader. Profits lie in the server side (the cloud) with only a few players in this space like MSFT. That said, this will continue to grow. Valuation is very high, but this will remain a growth leader with segments like Amazon Prime doing well.

TOP PICK
It's been lagging the last 18 months while the other FANGs were partying. The $3-billion to build their AWS cloud business and overnight shipping system have paid off. Revenue growth of 21% is amazing for a company this size. Outperformance will continue. (Analysts’ price target is $2411.52)
BUY
You could've bought this for most of the last 18 months, based on valuation, such as end-December 2018. Problem was margin compression as competitors gave away free shipping. So, Amazon started to push one-day shipping, but it temporarily compressed margins with higher costs. Now, there's operational leverage and wider margins. Also, they're shifting to providing payments and logistics to other merchants and this offers wide margins. AWS are also profitable. He'd stick with it. It's an excellent business.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The story is very bullish, but hasn't made new highs. This trade is crowded, so wait to buy at $1,800.
PARTIAL SELL
It's consolidating now after a good, long rise. It is currently toppy (below $2,000). It has trouble breaking past $2,000. It's okay to take some profits.
WAIT

They have gone sideways while FB-Q and GOOGL-Q have gone up. They have some catch-up to do. They don't appear to be cheap but the cash flow is very strong. He would like to see them get back to highs of $2100 and then keep going and that would be a time to buy it.
