L1 Capital International made the following comment about Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Quarterly results (mostly reported in late July and early August) were generally in line with our expectations. Solid company execution was subsequently swamped by increases in interest rates and hawkish Federal Reserve commentary. During the quarter, only one company (Amazon.com) made a positive contribution of more than 0.5% in Australian dollars. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was the largest negative contributor in the June 2022 quarter, with the share price recovering modestly but it is still well below our view of fair value. No company detracted more than 0.5% from the Fund’s performance in Australian dollars, although the depreciation of the Australian dollar obfuscates some meaningful share price falls in U.S. dollars
We did not participate in the ‘unprofitable tech bubble’, but our portfolio does have significant exposure to some of the largest, highly profitable and incredibly financially strong technology companies which dominate their markets and have outstanding medium to long term growth prospects – including Alphabet, Amazon, Intuit and Microsoft. The share price of these companies has now fallen to levels we now consider provide very attractive valuations for long term investors.”
