We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Watch as US-China Prepare to Begin Talks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.
The optimism over US-China trade talks is increasing as the US Treasury Secretary is set to meet China’s trade negotiator in Switzerland later this week.
In a latest program on CNBC, Jim Cramer expressed his renewed optimism for major tech stocks and said the negative market sentiment about these companies was weakened after the latest quarterly reports.
“Sometimes you forget why you ever liked something in the first place. Take the super stocks, the hyperscalers, the tech titans—I don’t care whatever you want to call them. These stocks all got lumped together because of their size, their gigantic market caps that dwarf the rest of the market, and then they lost their juice,” Cramer said. “It’s their scale, their smarts, their moats, their balance sheets, and their sensational products.”
Jim Cramer also talked about the latest data in company reports that shows the demand for data centers remains strong.

Jim Cramer recently commented on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s latest quarterly results. Here is what he said:
“Even though Wall Street didn’t like the guidance we just got from Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) tonight, it sure doesn’t seem like they’re backing away from AI infrastructure spending at all.”
Amazon yet again impressed with its Cloud business in its latest quarterly results. AWS revenue jumped 16.9% year over year in the most recent quarter, while its operating income rose 22.6%. AWS has now surpassed a $100 billion annual run rate, playing a central role in helping businesses modernize infrastructure, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation.
The market often overlooks Amazon’s ads business, which is generating more than $10 billion in quarterly revenue despite being built from scratch. In the first quarter, ad revenue rose 19% from a year earlier to $13.9 billion, continuing to support overall profitability.
According to some Wall Street estimates, Amazon is projected to earn $6.20 per share in 2025 and $8.95 in 2027, reflecting 44.4% earnings growth over two years. The stock currently trades at 20.7 times its expected 2027 earnings, which makes it attractively valued.
Alger Spectra Fund stated the following regarding Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:
“Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a global technology company renowned for its expansive e-commerce platform, offering a vast array of products and services to consumers worldwide. Beyond online retail, Amazon generates revenue through its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which provides scalable computing solutions to businesses and governments; subscription services like Amazon Prime, offering members benefits such as streaming content and expedited shipping; and advertising services that enable brands to reach targeted audiences on its platform. During the quarter, shares detracted from performance due to concerns surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump’s impending tariffs on imported goods, raising fears about increased operational costs and weaker consumer spending. Additionally, management’s lower-than expected fiscal first-quarter sales forecast and substantial planned investments—including a $100 billion commitment to AWS and AI infrastructure in 2025—further pressured sentiment regarding near term profitability. Despite the near-term share price weakness, we believe Amazon’s fundamentals remain strong given its diversified business model, continuous innovation, and dominant positions in high-growth areas like e-commerce and cloud computing.”
