Amazon.com, Inc. continues to be a topic of discussion among experts, with many highlighting its strong growth potential driven primarily by its AWS cloud services and increasing investments in artificial intelligence. While the retail segment showcases solid earnings, concerns regarding capital expenditures and competition in the AI space have contributed to a mixed sentiment. Analysts note Amazon's impressive performance in recent quarters, particularly its ability to exceed earnings expectations and its growing advertising business. Some experts mention the need for careful monitoring of stock movements and market conditions, suggesting that investors should approach with a long-term view while considering the valuation dynamics influenced by ongoing growth strategies.
$300 billion-dollar market cap. You could buy Amazon, hold Amazon and keep Amazon, as there is nothing to say that it won’t be a $1 trillion company someday. This has become the de facto future. The company was brilliant. Quarter after quarter after quarter, people sold off the stock because they thought the company was wasting money on building warehouses all over the world. However, it allowed the company to become the one and only option for Internet-based commerce. They are also in the Cloud business as well as having Echo, a smart speaker for answering questions and controlling an intelligent home.
This fits into the technology category, but it has basically already killed everybody. The runway for revenue, both in retail, but more importantly in Cloud services business looks really, really strong. This is a franchise that seems to have moats all around it. People have been upping the valuation to very, very high levels. It would be on his list to sell very quickly in a market downdraft, just because the room for error is so narrow, and the expectations and the profits built into the stock are so high, that when we do get a correction, people like to sell their winners. Thinks that any of these “category killer” technology stocks over the next 5 years, are going to continue to do well.
He just doesn’t understand this one. Trading at a P/E ratio of a few hundred. The stock has done tremendously well and are dominating online retailing. From his perspective, the stock is overvalued, but it has been overvalued for the last 10 years. If you have your eye on this, he would wait for a pullback.
This has been a big spender to build out capacity. In the world of retail, this is an unstoppable juggernaut, where purchase dollars are going on-line. That growth isn’t slowing any time soon. Then you get to bolt on the second theme, which is Cloud computing, and they are the 800 lb gorilla there as well.
This company is going to rule the world. Everything comes from here. It makes everything so easy for people in the city and rural areas. They have such a leg up on competitors, and is a company you must own. A company that you buy on pullbacks. When it pulls back 10% from its high, that is your opportunity to start building a position.
He loves this. It could definitely go upwards to $800 or higher. There are 2 components to the business. 1.) The e-commerce side which is doing spectacularly well. 2.) Their cloud business is by far and away ahead of Microsoft (MSFT-Q). Now Alphabet (GOOGL-Q) is trying to get into the game. This is really just a case of investing in hardware and the servers, and they are driving costs down and winning over so many other companies. Has a target price of $847 in 12 months.

The big knock is valuation. This company reports GAAP results and the law of big numbers has not impacted them. They are all things to all people, causing closures and bankruptcies in retail. The company will be the biggest in the world. They are best in breed.
