Amazon Stock: Bull vs. Bear
Over the last two decades, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has been one of the stock market's biggest winners. The company's share price has soared over 7,100% over the last 20 years -- good enough to turn a $1,000 investment into more than $72,000. On the other hand, the e-commerce and cloud computing giant has been facing some business headwinds lately, and its share price trades down roughly 34% from its high.
Is Amazon still a smart investment at today's prices? Read on to see competing bullish and bearish takes on the company from two Motley Fool contributors.
Parkev Tatevosian: My bear case for Amazon centers on its low-margin e-commerce business and is worsened by a meaningful slowdown in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) segment. The latter had fueled the company's profits for years while management spent the proceeds building its e-commerce business. However, after years of rising competition, AWS is experiencing significant headwinds.
