Should I Buy Amazon Stock After the Split?

  • “Investing in tech titans can be a sensible strategy for the long run. So, don’t hesitate to grab a few Amazon shares today — it should be easier now that they’re cheaper.” — David Moadel, InvestorPlace
  • “Following a significant capital-investment cycle to support a rapid expansion of e-commerce volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic and to support the rollout of one-day and same-day Prime shipping options, we believe that investment intensity is now downshifting to a more sustainable pace.” — Brian Fitzgerald, Wells Fargo, TheStreet.com
  • “Long-term, the stock is still a great investment. And with the share price about to come down to about $110 a share (based on current levels) following the June 6 split, investors would be smart to buy shares on the dip and hold them in their portfolio for the long haul.” — Joel Baglole, InvestorPlace

AMZN stock is up 3.1% as of Monday afternoon.
