Market Sell-Off: The Ultimate Growth Stock to Buy With $1,000 Right Now
Let's look why Amazon is a great stock to scoop up on this market dip.
A big spender
Throughout its history, Amazon has invested heavily in its business. The company essentially built the world's largest warehouse and logistics network from scratch. This helped transform the company from an online book seller to the largest e-commerce marketplace in the world.
Meanwhile, e-commerce is not even its largest business by profitability: That title goes to its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing business. It created the infrastructure-as-a-service business model when it launched AWS back in 2006 after facing its own struggles scaling up its infrastructure as well as when trying to help affiliates build their platforms.
Both of these businesses took a massive amount of capital expenditure (capex) to build out. Meanwhile, the company would often sacrifice short-term profits during heavy investment cycles. However, Amazon has never taken a short-term view of its business, and instead has been focused on the long term, not just quarterly profits. This attitude helped it grow to become one of the largest companies in the world.
Today, the company is going through its next big investment phase with artificial intelligence (AI). AWS has been a nice beneficiary of AI, as Amazon has been at the forefront of helping customers build their AI models and applications. With its BedRock platform, it offers customers a number of leading foundation AI models that they can use as a starting point. The company has developed its own models, while it also offers popular models such as Meta Platforms ' Llama, Anthropic's Claude, and DeepSeek's R1 model. Meanwhile, its SageMaker platform can help developers create and train more custom models and deploy them in a production-ready hosted environment.
Amazon has also developed its own customer AI chips through its Annapurna Labs subsidiary to help with both AI training and inference. Custom AI chips tend to perform better at the very specific tasks for which they were designed and consume less energy, leading to cost savings.
AWS has been seeing strong growth as a result of AI, with segment revenue growing 19% last quarter. However, the unit has been capacity constrained given how strong demand has been. As such, the company is once again investing big, announcing it will spend a whopping $100 billion in capex this year, largely to build more data center infrastructure to add capacity for AWS.
Investors sometimes don't like Amazon's spending due to the impact it can have on its short-term results. Large amounts of capex spending increases depreciation costs. Capex spending is the initial upfront costs the company outlays and it does not directly impact earnings at the time it is spent. Instead the cost is spread out over an asset's useful life, which impacts earnings. For servers and networking equipment, Amazon currently depreciates the costs over six years.
However, Amazon has historically come through periods of high capex spending as a better company.
An e-commerce giant
While much of the attention on Amazon at the moment is around AWS and its AI opportunity, the company remains the leader in e-commerce. This segment is still a solid grower, with its North American revenue up 10% in Q4 and international revenue increasing 8%.
However, the company is growing operating income much faster than its revenue. North American operating income climbed 43% last quarter, while international operating income flipped from a loss of $419 million to a profit of $1.3 billion.
This is due to the company using AI to become more efficient, as well as through high-margin ad sales. Amazon has turned to AI to help with such tasks as predicting inventory trends, finding better delivery routes, and using AI robots in its warehouse that can do such things as determine if an item is damaged before it is shipped.
Meanwhile, Amazon has become the world's third-largest digital advertising company behind Meta and Alphabet 's Google. Sponsored ads remains a fast-growing and high gross margin business. Last quarter, its advertising revenue grew by 18% to $17.3 billion, which is off a pretty large base.
Attractive valuation
The recent drop in price has left Amazon trading at a trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) of 34.5 times and a forward P/E of just over 25 times 2026 analyst estimates. Those metrics are some of the cheapest the stock has been at in quite awhile.

With a big AI opportunity in front of it and an attractive valuation, now is a great time to buy Amazon stock.
Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity

enCore Energy Corp. Prices Upsized $100 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering
DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company™, announced today the pricing of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Convertible Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offering was upsized from the previously announced offering size of $75 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, enCore granted the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes a 13-day right to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The sale of the Convertible Notes is expected to close on August 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of enCore and will bear interest from, and including, August 22, 2025, at an annual rate of 5.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. Before May 15, 2030, holders will have the right to convert their Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. At any time from, and including, May 15, 2030, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. enCore will have the right to elect to settle conversions either in cash, common shares or in a combination of cash and common shares. The initial conversion rate is 303.9976 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $3.29 per common share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 27.5% over the last reported sale price of $2.58 per common share on August 19, 2025 on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at enCore's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 21, 2028, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, enCore may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price per common share exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. In addition, the Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, at enCore's option at any time in connection with certain changes in tax law. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Notes will be able to require enCore to repurchase their Convertible Notes following certain corporate transactions that constitute a "fundamental change" at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Following certain corporate transactions that constitute a "fundamental change" or if enCore issues a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or notice of redemption. enCore estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $95.3 million (or approximately $109.8 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use $10.0 million of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering to pay the cost of entering into capped call transactions in connection with the Convertible Notes and approximately $10.6 million of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering to repay amounts outstanding under its loan agreement. enCore intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, enCore intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to pay the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions and the remainder of net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The capped call transactions were privately negotiated with certain financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of common shares initially underlying the Convertible Notes, including any additional Convertible Notes issuable upon exercise of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Convertible Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $4.52 per share, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of enCore's common shares of $2.58 per share on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 19, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to enCore's common shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments enCore is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to enCore's common shares and/or purchase common shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common shares or the Convertible Notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to enCore's common shares and/or purchasing or selling enCore's common shares or other securities following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so during the observation period related to any conversions of the Convertible Notes on or after May 15, 2030, or following early termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of enCore's common shares or the Convertible Notes, which could affect the holders' ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount of cash and/or the number and value of common shares, if any, that holders will receive upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Convertible Notes and enCore's common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, or qualified by way of a prospectus in any province or territory of Canada. As a result, neither the Convertible Notes nor any common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to persons located or resident in Canada except pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws. This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Convertible Notes or any common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, nor will there be any sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. All references to dollar amounts contained in this press release are expressed in United States dollars.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights IonQ, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Alphabet and NVIDIA
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 20, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: IonQ, Inc. IONQ, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc. GOOGL and NVIDIA Corp. NVDA. Here are highlights from Tuesday's Analyst Blog: Can IONQ Become the NVIDIA of Quantum Computing, and Is It a Buy? IonQ, Inc. 's shares surged 457.9% over the past year, driven by its significant advancements in quantum computing. IonQ has offered its customers quantum systems via platforms like Microsoft Corp. 's Azure, Inc. 's Amazon Web Services, and Alphabet Inc.'s Google Cloud. IonQ now aims to position itself as the NVIDIA Corp. of quantum computing. Will it be able to achieve this goal, and is this an opportune moment to invest in its shares? Let's find out – Reasons to Be Bullish on IONQ IonQ has prepared the groundwork for its quantum computers to seamlessly integrate into real-world applications. IonQ is preparing compatible trapped-ion quantum computers for major cloud platforms. IonQ has already acquired several companies, including Qubitekk, ID Quantique, and Lightsynq Technologies, to enhance its presence in the quantum field and has secured contracts from the U.S. Air Force Research Lab, which is expected to drive significant growth for the company in the next two years. IonQ's revenues have increased significantly since its initial public offering in 2021. Management projects revenues between $82 million and $100 million this year, significantly higher than $43.1 million in 2024. The company is on a positive trajectory, having reported second-quarter revenues of $20.7 million compared to $11.4 million last year, and anticipates third-quarter revenues of $25 million, nearly double the previous year's figures. This revenue growth indicates that the company's acquisition strategy is effective and its business model is solid. Can IONQ Become the NVIDIA in Quantum Computing? IonQ aspires to become the NVIDIA of quantum computing by relying on consistent revenue growth and successful acquisitions, with more anticipated in the future. However, despite revenue growth, IonQ hasn't generated any profit. In the second quarter, IonQ had an operating expense of $181.3 million, which resulted in an operating loss of $160.6 million, way more than $48.9 million loss a year ago. The operating loss exceeded revenue growth, which can compel IonQ to face financial challenges and jeopardize its aim to become the NVIDIA of quantum computing. NVIDIA, in reality, is in a better position to compete against pure-play quantum computing stocks like IonQ. This is because NVIDIA aims to integrate its graphics processing units (GPUs) and quantum processing units (QPUs) in a hybrid quantum system to efficiently manage calculation errors. Utilizing its GPU framework serves as an effective bridge from current classical computers to quantum technology. Additionally, in contrast to IonQ, NVIDIA has reported an operating income of $21.6 billion in the fiscal first quarter, up 28% year over year. Its revenues also jumped 69% year over year to $44.1 billion. Being a profitable enterprise will enable NVIDIA to effectively tackle the challenges of quantum computing and expand its operations. Therefore, it is premature to determine that IonQ could become the NVIDIA of quantum computing. Here's How to Trade IONQ Stock Now The series of acquisitions indicates that IonQ has bold plans to grow in the quantum computing industry, which is projected to reach a value of $100 billion by 2035, according to McKinsey. This should encourage stakeholders to remain invested in IonQ stock. However, new investors should proceed with caution. Quantum computing is still in its early stages, and IonQ is not yet profitable. Several leading CEOs have stated that the widespread use of quantum computing technology is still years away and that it remains prone to errors. Therefore, IonQ is a risky investment suitable only for high-risk-tolerance investors. Let's not forget that IonQ is an overpriced stock and could see its price fall when the market corrects itself. IonQ's forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio stands at 126.59 compared to 4.14 for the Computer-Integrated System industry. For now, IonQ has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
