Companies Providing Superb Products and Remarkable Opportunities: Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)’s

One last company to consider buying is Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG). Yes, the iPhone is probably the most used cell phone in the world, but Android owns the most market share. Understand the difference here. Android is used in many cell phones, not just one type of phone. Apple recently released numbers showing an increase in U.S. market share. In fact, 51.2% of all smart phones sold in 2012 in the U.S. were iOS. This is not the case worldwide as Android claims almost 70% of market share, while Apple is just under 20%.

As with Apple and Amazon, Google has performed well in recent years. In ten years the stock has increased 684%, revenues have increased 3,423%, and EPS have increased 7,880%. Not bad for a company that was nothing more than a thought just fifteen years ago. Currently the company shows a market cap of $258 billion with a FCF yield of 5.2%.  Despite over $3.2 billion in capital expenditures in 2012, the rates have decreased the past two years. EPS have grown annually for ten years, and with gross margins of 58.9% in 2012, this company is in position to make you money.

The Foolish Bottom Line…

These are all impressive companies with great business models. They are arguably the biggest and best of their kind, and all have great products. Even better than their products is the opportunity they provide to investors. There are obviously obstacles for each company to overcome, but I would suggest that the positives far outweigh the negatives for these companies.
