ARKK, her flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF) with $5.5 billion in assets, has posted a 25.7% return over the past year, and a modest 12.2% over five years. By comparison, the S&P 500 has returned 35% over one year, and 95.4% over five years. Still, whenever she makes a move in the market, investors often binge on that strategy.\nWood’s investment philosophy thrives on emerging high-tech companies in fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, DNA sequencing, energy storage, and robotics. She occasionally taps mega-cap stocks too to provide stability for her funds, which primarily consist of higher-risk assets. Sometimes, Wood even buys these stocks during price increases.\nCathie Wood’s Recent Move: Amazon \nOn Oct. 12, 2024, Cathie added 20,883 shares of Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) to the ARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ ETF. On Oct. 8, 2024, Ark Innovation ETF purchased 76,505 shares of Amazon, valued at $14 million.Amazon shares are off 2.2% past month.\nAmazon is expected to report earnings on Oct 31. 2024, after market closes. One out of 15 analysts raised its earnings estimate for the current year 2024 over the past seven days. Zacks Consensus Earnings estimate has been upped by a cent for the current year over the past week.\nStay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.  \nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nShould You Play Amazon Stock & ETFs?\nAmazon.com has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The stock has the best VGM Score of “A.” The stock comes from the top-ranked Internet – Commerce industry (top 31%). Amazon is gaining on solid Prime momentum owing to ultrafast delivery services and a strong content portfolio.\nAmazon is often considered as a wide-moat stock. Amazon is the clear leader in e-commerce, with a cost advantage and network effects that attract more buyers and sellers. The company has been disrupting the retail industry for more than two decades, per Morningstar. Thus, picking Amazon stock ahead of the start of the holiday season could be a good idea.\nMeanwhile, the growing adoption of Amazon Web Services (AWS) is aiding Amazon’s cloud dominance. In Q2 of 2024, Amazon and Google upped their cloud market share. “Google is bigger than the next four largest players, while Microsoft is twice the size of Google and Amazon is 35 percent bigger than Microsoft,” said John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group in an email to CRN.\nA deepening focus on generative AI is a major plus. Amazon is developing its own processors to limit its reliance on costly NVIDIA chips. Amazon’s Annapurna Labs, which it acquired in 2015, is spearheading the effort in this area. According to Sinno, the director of engineering at Annapurna Labs, there is a growing demand among Amazon’s customers for cheaper alternatives to NVIDIA’s chips, as quoted on Firstpost in July 2024.\nAmazon Stock’s Valuation & Potential\nAmazon’s stock trades at a price/earnings (trailing 12 months) ratio of 44.80X versus the underlying industry’s P/E of 79.18X, indicating undervalued status. However, Amazon’s Price/Book (Most Recent Quarter) ratio is pricey. Amazon’s P/B ratio is 8.39X versus the industry average of 2.12X. Amazon’s price/cash flow (most recent fiscal year) ratio is 25.03X versus the industry average of 14.27X.\nAmazon’s this year’s growth rate is 63.79% versus the industry’s growth rate of 15.80% and the S&P 500’s 15.67%. Amazon’s next year’s growth rate is 23.16% versus the industry’s growth rate of 23.50% and the S&P 500’s 11.34%.\nPrice Target\nBased on short-term price targets offered by 46 analysts, the average price target for Amazon comes to $225.98. The forecasts range from a low of $183.00 to a high of $265.00. The average price target represents an increase of 19.52% from the last closing price of $189.07 as on Oct. 21, 2024.\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nAmazon-Heavy ETFs in Focus\nGiven the ongoing uncertainties related to competition in the cloud and AI business, it may be better to track the company through an ETF approach. The basket approach minimizes the company-specific concentration risks.\nAmazon-heavy ETFs include the likes of Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund XLY (weight 22.52%), ProShares Online Retail ETF ONLN (weight 22.33%), Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF FDIS (weight 22.25%) and Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF VCR (weight 21.63%).\nWant the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
