From NASDAQ.: 2025-05-23 07:30:00

The United States government focuses on an America-first strategy, with GDP per capita over $80,000 compared to the EU’s $40,000. Reinvestment in American companies like American Express and Amazon could further expand this gap, as most AI innovations come from the U.S.

American Express, a staple in the U.S. for over 100 years, operates its own payment network, generating revenue from transaction fees. The company’s vertical integration allows it to provide perks to cardholders, driving consumer spending. With inflation protection and a P/E ratio of 21, it’s a solid investment.

Amazon has invested $355.7 billion in U.S. infrastructure, benefiting workers and boosting AI growth. The company’s cloud computing division, AWS, is set to spend over $100 billion in 2025. Despite risks from tariffs, Amazon’s e-commerce model remains profitable. With a P/E ratio of 33, it’s a strong long-term investment.
