#1 - Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a multifaceted conglomerate best known to many consumers for its e-commerce business. That may not be the reason that Cathie Woods’ Ark fund is buying AMZN stock — that would be its Amazon Web Services (AWS) business, which ties in the company’s positioning around artificial intelligence (AI). But it’s the consumer-facing part of the business that’s likely to outperform if consumers feel they have more purchasing power.
AMZN stock is down about 12.5% from its 52-week high reached this summer. However, it’s important to note that the stock is about 10% after a post-earnings pullback of around 15%. At its current price, it’s also at a key area of resistance around $178.
The Amazon.com analyst forecasts on MarketBeat show bullish sentiment with a consensus price target of $222.49, which would provide a 24.75% upside. The next catalyst isn’t expected until the company reports earnings in October, which means a volatile September could provide an ideal entry point.
