Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a diversified technology firm with core interests in ecommerce. Jim Cramer discussed his views on the company during an appearance on CNBC in mid-July, stating that the stock was “bottoming” and that it was a “bullish sign” that the firm had come clean and started talking about layoffs. He added that he liked the stock “very much”. Cramer noted that the stock still presented “terrific value” even though the share price had fallen compared to the prices at which he had bought it. 

On July 21, Deutsche Bank analyst Lee Horowitz maintained a Buy rating on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock and lowered the price target to $155 from $174, noting the firm was “not immune” to recessionary concerns despite ecommerce demand holding up.

In its Q2 2021 investor letter, Oakmark Funds, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was one of them. Here is what the fund said: 

“Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is the leading e-commerce and cloud-computing provider in the world. Two-thirds of U.S. households are Amazon Prime subscribers, and over half of all online product searches now start on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). We believe the company’s strong customer loyalty and massive infrastructure are significant barriers to entry in a growing e-commerce market. Separately, Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) controls nearly half of the market in cloud computing. We believe AWS has become utility-like in nature and scale and we expect healthy growth moving forward as IT workloads continue moving to the cloud. More recently, concerns about rising investment spending have weighed on the stock-as they have in times past-providing us another opportunity to purchase shares at a very attractive price. At our purchase price and valuing AWS like its peers, an investor isn’t paying much of anything for the immensely valuable e-commerce franchise.”
