My first trade in 2023 - buy $Amazon.com(AMZN)$
CEO Andy Jassy is focused on streamlining the company's cost structure. Amazon spends a lot of money in areas that aren't profitable, including its international and devices segments. The efficiency focus should usher in strategic changes in those areas, plus cost-cutting in ongoing activities like package delivery.
Amazon also repurchased billions in common stock in 2022, for the first time since 2012. The company has $6 billion remaining on its share repurchase authorization. Continued share buybacks would support higher earnings per share later.
On top of those factors, Amazon's stock price looks cheap right now relative to its history.
