Amazon: Still A Strong Buy After Recent Outperformance

Summary:

  • Amazon is still firmly positioned to benefit from secular shifts regarding the rapid penetration of e-commerce and cloud solutions, which are Amazon’s major revenue streams.
  • Near-term headwinds are strong but they are highly likely to be temporary, and the company’s financial position is strong enough to weather the storm.
  • My valuation analysis suggests the stock is still massively undervalued.
