As Stocks Slide, Here's 1 to Consider Buying
Major indexes were sliding Monday morning as recent news about tariffs has injected some uncertainty into the market. And this is on top of a software stock sell-off that has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. As investors are selling, are there any opportunities? After all, broad sell-offs like this can create great opportunities when high-quality businesses get pulled down with weaker names.
One stock I think investors may want to consider buying (albeit in moderation) on this sell-off is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The stock has been slammed even more than the broader market this year, declining about 12% year to date -- and that's after underperforming the S&P 500 in 2025.
Despite the market's recent pessimism toward the stock, the e-commerce and cloud-computing giant just reported a strong fourth quarter, and the biggest near-term pressure point in the story -- elevated AI (artificial intelligence) investment spending -- looks more like short-term noise than a real issue.
