Cathie Wood buys the dip in Amazon, sees long-term growth potential

From Nasdaq: 2025-04-19 06:15:00

Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, advocates for long-term investment strategies in technology companies. Wood maintains exposure to Amazon, which is the thirteenth-largest holding in Ark’s portfolio. Despite a drop in Amazon’s stock price this year, Wood purchased 104,000 shares between April 4 and April 8 across various ETFs.

Wood’s decision to invest in Amazon is based on the company’s historical operating income growth and efficient cost management. Amazon’s ability to generate cash flow and reinvest in new opportunities has strengthened its business. Despite a discount in Amazon’s valuation multiples, Wood sees potential for long-term growth.

Amazon’s stock price has been affected by uncertainty around tariff policies. However, Wood believes Amazon’s e-commerce platform and AWS division will remain strong. Wood views the current dip in Amazon’s stock price as an opportunity for growth investors to lower their cost basis and increase their positions.
