In the Q3 2020 Investor Letter, Qualivian Investment Partners highlighted a few stocks and Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of them. Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a technology company. Year-to-date, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock gained 71.5% and on November 30th it had a closing price of $3,168.04. Here is what Qualivian Investment Partners said:
“Amazon: AMZN shares, along with many other eCommerce participants, have been on a strong run this year, outperforming the S&P 500 materially since February. COVID is pulling forward years of eCommerce migration and AMZN is one of the big winners. Alongside this, cloud migration continues to accelerate as the cost-benefit of migrating from on-premise to the cloud dominates especially in the work/learn from home COVID era. AMZN handily beat topline consensus estimates across its 1P/3P online sales, subscription, and other revenues, while meeting AWS sales estimates (which disappointed market observers). Operating income and cash flow handily beat consensus, increasing 96% and 52% last quarter, despite spending an incremental $2.5bn in Q2 and Q3 on COVID-related expenses.
The management team continues to invest in Prime One-Day shipping, AWS, international, video content, positioning the company for continued market share gains, new revenue growth vectors, and margin expansion once the company laps this investment cycle, further strengthening its long-term competitive advantage. The key risks that we continue to monitor are regulatory/political in nature.”
