AWS, retail and ads all accelerated in growth while profits hit a record high with operating margins of 13.7%. AWS contributes 61% of operating income and is accelerating rapidly. Has lots of momentum. Even if you cut the backlog in half, you still see outsize growth and market share gains. It gives her confidence in the AI space for Amazon.
Remember, it took Amazon, Google and Microsoft a decade to build their cloud businesses, so this will not happen overnight for Meta, if it happens. It would diversify their companies, so that's good, instead of 100% ads. She's tired of them spending and not delivering he results. So many question marks about how they will grow. She is looking elsewhere. They lost $8 billion on Reality Labs. A headache.
Still owns it. Be careful which tech stocks you own now--some are slumping, some not. Marvell has $10 of earnings power by 2027. NVDA invested in them. Their optical business is poised to grow 50% the next few years. Their custom ASIC business-- they have an 80% market share with Broadcom--is expected to grow from 20% to 100% share. Is up 218% this year and trades at 27x, not cheap, but it is growing.
Trades at 17x PE. The turnaround is working with comps at 5.6%. Traffic grew 4.5% last quarter which bodes well for the upcoming quarter.
