Whenever I buy stock, I intend to hold it for three to five years and then analyze whether it's worth holding for even longer. Over a time frame from that length, business results should take the lead as the key factor for stock performance rather than the short -term feel of the market. However, there are a few stocks in my portfolio that I never intend to sell, unless something shocking changes with their investment research essays.
Three of the stocks on this “Hold Forever” list look like pretty strong purchases today. They are also heavily involved in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) weapons race, and in a good position to take advantage of the huge technological change we are getting.
Hamazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a key part of the lives of most US users. Almost everyone has bought something on its market before, and many people (including myself) do a great deal of shopping through its e-commerce platform.
However, I am more excited about her Cloud Computing BusinessAmazon Web Services (AWS), which provides computer power that clients can use to host websites, process data, or train AI models. Cloud computing allows clients to run their businesses in a more light asset, as they can graduate up or down how much processing power they use, and do not have to buy or maintain the hardware themselves. AWS provided 50% of Amazon's operational income in CH4 despite just 15% of its revenue.
Grand View Research predicts that the cloud computing market between now and 2030 will grow at an annual rate from 21% to $ 2.39 trillion. Amazon is in a perfect position to take advantage of this huge growth trend. With Amazon with a firm grasp of the consumer goods and cloud computer markets, it's a great stock to buy and hold.
The investment essay for Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Shares many similarities to the thesis for Amazon. While Amazon dominates US e-commerce, the alphabet rules are searching with a Google search engine. This legacy business produces a huge amount of money from advertising.
The alphabet also has a cloud computer segment, and in CH4, Google Cloud revenue rose 30% year -on -year against 19% AWS growth. AWS remains much more, generating $ 28.8 billion in revenue compared to Google Cloud, which generated $ 12 billion. Still, the same tail applies to both.
Alphabet has also made significant investments in AI, and its productive AI model Gemini has become the best performer in this space. While some investors are worried that the tight grip of the alphabet on the search market would be weakened as AI is integrated into the products of its competitors, Google has made similar changes, and so far it has maintained its widespread guidance in the space largely.
