Online shopping has become so popular that Amazon now sells more products online than anyone else. But that’s just a tiny part of your business. Amazon also operates a vast third-party Marketplace where anyone can sell physical products with Amazon logos and ship them to customers through Amazon fulfillment centers. In other words, while most people think of Amazon as an e-commerce company, it’s primarily a logistics company at this point — and that’s good for investors.Amazon stock hit a new all-time high earlier this week at $2,179.53 (+1.54), extending its winning streak. The e-commerce giant has been up more than 1.91% since the start of Monday. Amazon stock have been up 125% in the last five years. That might seem like a good reason to buy, but some investors are suspicious that Amazon may be reaching a foam peak. They point to other stocks in the sector that have also soared and fear they will soon see a correction.As investors digested the poor quarterly financial results recently announced by two of Amazon’s rivals, shares in e-commerce giant Amazon rose 1.42% today Friday. In the wake of rising inflation and the Federal Reserve’s reaction, Amazon shares rose today, putting investors a little more relaxed. The Nasdaq Composite is up 0.37 percent this Friday morning.Investors are concerned that the same supply chain bottlenecks and inflationary fallout hurting Amazon’s competitors will also hurt Amazon shares due to two Amazon retail rivals reporting worse-than-expected results. Understandably, Amazon shareholders were nervous Monday morning. Inflation, long-standing supply chain problems, and rising gasoline prices are eating into the earnings of two major US retailers.For this reason, some investors are looking to safe havens outside the stock market as the Federal Reserve moves to contain inflation. Instead, investors need to stick with companies like Amazon, which have substantial competitive advantages and are financially well equipped to weather any future economic storms.Pinterest Inc (NYSE:PINS)Fonte: Getty ImagesPinterest (NYSE:PINS) is a digital discovery platform that allows users to discover new ideas, find new things to try, and get inspired. It has over 250 million monthly active users and has made tremendous progress monetizing its user base. Pinterest’s business model is one of the simplest on the internet – it only sells ads. It doesn’t offer a subscription service or anything else for that matter. Its focus on visual content also makes advertisers more comfortable than other platforms where text plays an important role.Pinterest Inc ended 2021 on a high, reporting revenue of $2.58 billion and a profit of $316.44 million, up from the projected $214 million. The company also posted a projected EPS of 0.45 to a realized EPS of 0.49, up from 4 cents a share in Q3 2021. Pinterest has built one of the most impressive social networks around a single idea: images speak louder than words. As a result, stocks are rising as investors look beyond this earnings report and see the potential for future growth. Stocks have more than doubled since 2021 as analysts continue to raise their price targets. Today, Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) shares rose 0.39 percent, hitting an all-time high of $23.23 per stock Friday. The stock had a 0.17 percent high in the S&P 500 and a 0.36 percent increase in the Nasdaq Composite, but it outperformed both. A glimmer of optimism for investors in Pinterest. In 2022, the stock is down 40 percent from its all-time highs in early 2021, and it has fallen by about 80 percent since then. Pinterest’s one-day outperformance was not caused by any financial news from the firm, although the company may have hit some bottom during the current market upheaval. At this writing, Pinterest’s stock is trading at a price-to-free cash flow ratio of 23. In the first quarter of 2022, Pinterest had 433 million monthly active users, a 9 percent year-over-year fall. Pinterest’s income is still rising, thanks to more advertising activity, but costs might climb even faster this year as the firm invests in new capabilities for companies and individual users. During the second quarter of 2022, Pinterest expects a year-over-year gain in revenue of around 11% but a 10% increase in quarterly expenditures. Expenses are expected to rise by 35% to 40% by 2022. Consequently, Pinterest’s profitability might suffer a short-term blow, and its value could become more “expensive” if that happens.Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX)Source: Getty ImagesNetflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has been a household name for years. The streaming video service has more than 100 million monthly active users worldwide. It produces so much original content that it will spend more on content next year than any other media company. With all that cash going toward licensing old movies and producing new shows, Netflix is a cheap investment at just 15 times forward earnings. The company that brought binge-watching to the mainstream and redefined our living rooms with streaming video now aims to redefine our TVs. This time, it’s by making them into bright screens with AI-powered virtual assistants. These are just a few ways Netflix, which has been working on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and voice control in its service for years, is transforming itself. As a result, many analysts agree that Netflix is one of the best tech stocks to buy.Netflix’s two most mature markets, the United States and Canada, maybe slowing down, but the company’s development into new nations will be a significant commercial driver in the future. For example, in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, Netflix has 33.7 million subscribers and produced 11.7 percent of its $7.9 billion in worldwide income in the first quarter of 2017. That is Netflix’s least-tapped market, but it was also the only one that saw an increase in membership numbers during the most recent quarter.Netflix is actively courting new subscribers in India, which is estimated to have 653 million internet users by the end of the year. In addition, to better compete with Amazon Prime Video and Walt Disney’s Hotstar, the firm has decreased prices. However, while Netflix’s mobile-only offerings in lower-income nations may spur growth, the company’s revenue potential will be restricted compared to countries like the more wealthy UCAN.The globe now has around 750 million internet subscribers (and this number is increasing) (with Netflix not accessible in China). So Netflix’s current subscriber base of 221.6 million might grow significantly if the company can replicate its success in UCAN in other areas across the globe.
