AMAZON'S 'MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR RUN RATE' IN AI DRIVES STRATEGIST TO DOUBLE DOWN
ON STOCK

by Surbhi Jain



August 20, 2024 8:48 AM | 2 min read | Make a Comment

 * Expert sees Amazon’s recent dip as a buying opportunity, citing strong AI and
   e-commerce growth potential.

20-YEAR PRO TRADER REVEALS HIS “MONEYLINE” — SIMPLE TRADES


A simple line tells you when to buy and when to sell that’s helped Nic win 83%
of his trades. Click here for access.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a recent exclusive interview with Benzinga, Stephanie Link, Chief Investment
Strategist & Portfolio Manager at Hightower Advisors, shared her insights into
Amazon.com Inc's

AMZN-0.06%
Get Free Report
stock, making it clear that she's playing the long game with this tech titan.


SEIZING THE DIP: A STRATEGIC PLAY ON AMAZON

Despite a recent dip, Link saw an opportunity in the temporary pullback, saying,
“We already had a position in Amazon that has done well. Between their latest
earnings report and the dip last week, AMZN traded over -12% lower and there was
not a material change in the business.”

For Link, the numbers spoke for themselves. She noted Amazon was trading at
“12.9x EV/EBITDA & 27.8x P/E,” which signaled an entry point to double down on a
stock she believes in.

The key factors behind her confidence?



“Amazon continues to have tailwinds behind them from their regional distribution
change that is unlocking operating margin growth and cost-cutting,” she said.

Factoring in AWS's status as the largest cloud provider with a “multi-billion
dollar run rate generative AI business,” and the decision to buy more Amazon
stock seems like a no-brainer.

AI – THE GAME-CHANGER FOR AMAZON

When asked about Amazon's expanding AI capabilities and their impact on future
growth, Link was equally optimistic. “We think that this is a tailwind for
Amazon,” she said.

Highlighting Amazon’s recent AI innovations, she pointed out that AWS has
launched “more than twice as many machine learning and generative AI features
than all of the other major cloud providers combined” over the past 18 months.

This, coupled with Amazon's new generative AI-powered shopping assistant Rufus,
has positioned the company for what Link believes will be significant long-term
gains.


WHY THE ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN DOESN'T SCARE LINK

Despite fears of a looming economic slowdown, Link isn't worried about Amazon’s
resilience.

“There are always headlines out there that promote fear… but we have faith in
the data,” she said. With Amazon being the largest player in both e-commerce and
cloud computing, Link is confident in the company's ability to weather any
potential storms, noting that even in a weaker economy, Amazon's innovative edge
and dominant market positions give it a distinct advantage.
