Amazon is special because it benefits from multiple secular trends. Everyone knows the company as the clear leader in e-commerce. In the U.S., nearly 40% of all money spent online goes through Amazon's online marketplace.
The business also has a top position in the cloud computing market. Amazon Web Services (AWS) represented 18.4% of the company's second-quarter revenue and 53.1% of its operating income. Huge customer demand for artificial intelligence capabilities will support durable demand for AWS.
With Prime Video, Amazon has its hands in the growing streaming market that continues to capture viewer attention from traditional cable TV. What's more, the company's digital ad segment is booming. Revenue came in at $15.7 billion in the second quarter, which was 22% more than the same period a year ago.
Wall Street analysts estimate Amazon's sales will increase at an annualized pace of 10.6% between 2024 and 2027. Even though this is a massive enterprise, its growth days are far from over.
