Tesla shares are valued like Twilio's own in terms of their price-sales ratio, but the difference is that the car company had gross margins of 23.5% in Q3 2020, while the software company managed twice that.
Amazon is currently not a buy, but keep an eye on it. AMZN stock is in a consolidation phase with a buy point of 3,496.34, according to MarketSmith analysis.
First, Amazon is the undisputed leader in U.S. e-commerce sales. According to an eMarketer report from March, Amazon was expected to control an estimated 38.7% of all online sales in 2020, and further boost its share by 100 basis points to 39.7% in 2021. Lastly, Amazon's valuation is an upside catalyst.
After a stellar earnings report and with shares down about 15% from its all-time high, now looks like a great time to buy Amazon stock. The Motley Fool owns shares of and recommends Amazon and recommends the following options: short January 2022 $1940 calls on Amazon and long January 2022 $1920 calls on Amazon.
Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is up an incredible 695% in 2020, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world with a $630 billion valuation. Investors have bought in to Elon Musk's product lineup, growth narrative, self-driving technology, and manufacturing expansion plans.
Amazon is an evergreen stock that has outperformed the market for the past several years. Contrary to what many investors believe, the stock is not overvalued and is trading at a discount. The company has laid the groundwork for growth over the next several years and will become an even bigger juggernaut in the future.
The stock market is richly valued today, but there are still good deals to be found. Over the long term, stocks are a sound way to profit from future inflation and the growing earnings of a well-run company. Now is a great time to buy for the long term. Investors should have a time horizon of at least five to 10 years.
Good news, investors! Facebook is still a bargain right now. However, given that Facebook's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us another chance to buy in the future.
No, it's not. While Facebook isn't going away anytime soon — it still has over two billion daily active users — if Myspace taught us anything, it's that when the world's biggest social media site collapses, it effectively does so overnight.
And though Facebook is back in growth mode -- revenue and net income grew a respective 22% and 29% year over year in the third quarter of 2020 -- shares currently trade for 31 times trailing 12-month earnings. So the premium-priced stock could still be a great long-term value.
Powered by big growth in its social commerce and digital ad businesses, Facebook stock could hit $1,000 by the end of the decade.
Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) surged on Thursday, rising about 7.1% as of 2:30 p.m. EST. The growth stock's gain was likely driven by a number of factors, including a bullish day in the overall market, political news, and analyst optimism for the stock.
Given the company's growth potential relative to its valuation, I think Facebook stock remains a buy. Earnings growth may slow dramatically in 2021. However, given the valuation and continuing growth prospects, Facebook offers tremendous value.
