Alphyn Capital made the following comment about Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)  in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“It is fascinating to me how Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) continually uses its scale, operating resources, and “day one” attitude3 to expand the number of industries in which it is involved. Healthcare is now an area of increased focus. In July, Amazon purchased 1Life Healthcare Inc., which operates a primary-care practice under the name One Medical for $3.9 billion. Amazon also bid for home-health-services provider Signify but lost out to CVS in September with a winning bid of $8 billion.

It is hard to predict what direction this will take, but Amazon often finds ways to add “synergies” from seemingly disparate services. For example, consider that Amazon has invested heavily in video, which drives the adoption of its Prime subscription. As a result, prime members provide a recurring revenue stream (approximately $25 billion) and spend more heavily on Amazon’s retail. This strengthens Amazon’s retail network effects to benefit its high margin third-party marketplace and advertising businesses.”
