Prediction: Amazon Could Be Worth This Much in 5 Years
You might regret not initiating a position in the company.
Overview
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has underperformed the broader market over the past five years. Over this period, the company has dealt with a CEO change (which was technically slightly over five years ago), a rare net loss, macroeconomic headwinds, increased competition in the cloud computing industry, and several other challenges. That said, there is still a lot to like about the company's business, and, in my view, the e-commerce specialist is likely to outperform broader equities over the next five years. Here's how much the stock could be worth by 2031.

Amazon is investing heavily in its artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions. The company is now expecting $220 billion in capex this year. The tech leader is already seeing the results from these efforts. In the second quarter, Amazon's revenue increased by 20% year over year to $200.6 billion. The company's cloud computing segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), posted $42.2 billion in net sales, up 37% year over year.
