Amazon's Pullback Still Looks Like A Major Gift

Summary Amazon (AMZN) remains a compelling buy, with a 40% upside potential and a premium justified by robust AI-driven growth and business diversification. Heavy CAPEX into AI and data centers is eroding FCF short-term, but underpins long-term margin expansion and strengthens AMZN's competitive moat. AWS's accelerating growth, custom silicon (Trainium, Graviton), and Project Kuiper satellite initiatives are key catalysts for future valuation re-rating. Despite near-term risks from negative FCF, AMZN trades at a discount to its sum-of-parts, with execution on AI and satellite businesses expected to drive multiple expansion.

Despite near-term margin pressure and regulatory risks, PDD's major net cash position remains among China's best, with valuation and growth metrics also being very attractive. Intrinsic value is estimated well above current levels, making the risk-reward profile highly attractive even under conservative assumptions. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
