Amazon surprises with impressive quarterly results: Investors relaxed about AI spending

Amazon impresses with strong third-quarter figures and a positive outlook, causing its stock price to soar. According to Arun Sundaram, a senior equity research analyst at CFRA Research, the market views Amazon's investments in artificial intelligence (AI) with less concern than those of its competitors. Sundaram shared this assessment in a conversation with Market Domination Overtime hosts Alexandra Canal and Josh Lipton. While numerous cloud service providers significantly increase their spending on AI, Amazon remains a special case on the stock market. One reason for this, Sundaram notes, is Amazon's diversified approach: the company not only relies on Nvidia chips but also develops its own, more cost-effective AI chips, which can avoid capacity bottlenecks like those currently faced by Microsoft. Moreover, Amazon's business model, with various growth drivers such as e-commerce, advertising businesses, and Amazon Web Services, provides a solid foundation for margin improvement. This unique positioning gives Amazon an advantage over competitors like Meta and Microsoft and contributes to a relaxed market sentiment.
