Amazon's Financial Recovery and Future Potential

With its trouble behind it, Amazon is returning to growth. If you have $1,000 that isn't needed to pay bills or bolster an emergency fund, you might consider putting it toward an investment that can help you grow that "grand" amount into something more. But which stock will give you the ultimate growth potential while also being a safe investment? Sometimes the best stock to buy is one of the most well-known and successful companies in the world.

The Impact of the Pandemic Boom on Amazon

On one hand, Amazon benefited greatly from the pandemic-induced lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. With everyone stuck at home and access to stores limited, online retailers like Amazon experienced incredible demand for goods. For nearly two years, Amazon experienced quarterly year-over-year revenue growth above 20% as it met this demand. However, as revenue growth accelerated, so did Amazon's capital expenditures as it spent billions to increase its distribution footprint and keep up with expectations for timely delivery.

To put into perspective what Amazon had been through, it doubled its distribution footprint in two years. That level of spending in a short period would put any company into a state of financial stress. Fortunately for shareholders, Amazon has done a remarkable job of recovering.
