https://robin-clouet.fr/iStock via Getty Images Stock performance and past coverage: Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ) stock is trading at $212 today, down roughly 15% from $242 when I last covered the stock in early February of this year. Seeking Alpha At the time, I said the stock was cheap going into earnings, and it has continued sliding since, down around 11% on earnings and amplified by the war in Iran and the damage to some of its data centers in the Middle East region. The Techie My bullish sentiment on the stock remains, even more so given that the stock has pulled back further by about 19% from its all-time high of $258 in November of last year. The stock is now underperforming the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) on a one-year basis and has delivered essentially flat returns over the past year, as seen below. YCharts The reason Amazon went out of the market’s favor post-print is simply that it spent $125 billion on capex in 2025 and guided to spend $200 billion for 2026, above the $147 billion expectations level. The market looked at that number and sold it at the time. According to the company’s CEO , Andy Jassy, on the earnings print, With such strong demand for our existing offerings and seminal opportunities like AI, chips, robotics, and low earth orbit satellites, we expect to invest about $200 billion in capital expenditures across Amazon in 2026, and anticipate strong long-term return on invested capital. I look at the numbers that triggered the selloff and think it was overdone, as I believe the capex surge is demand-driven rather than speculative, and every key operational metric in the business is either accelerating or at multi-year highs. The stock is now pricing in a worst-case scenario for a business that is still in a good spot. So, let's get right into it. The Q4 print: The read on Q4 was EPS miss, capex shock, and guidance miss, and what the market overlooked was that the EPS miss looks worse than it actually was. Amazon recorded special charges that reduced op...

ablokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Airbnb, Inc. ( ABNB ) has been range-bound since 2022. After the post-covid bump, the company has not shown material growth and profitability acceleration. In my view, this is changing in 2026. After laying new growth foundations, Airbnb is getting back on investors’ radar. If execution is done right, there could be 30%-40% upside to be realized in the next several years. AI Is A Net Opportunity For Airbnb Airbnb has strengthened its economic moat by expanding network effects of its marketplace. The supply side of rental postings is very fragmented. It mostly comes from small private owners. Many of them are unique and available on Airbnb's platform only. This has opened a virtuous cycle of boosting value for Airbnb's new and existing users. Because of the sheer number of hosts (5 million and growing), Airbnb is largely immune to aggregation. Replicating Airbnb’s scale of unique listings has been challenging for others. With app changes and iterations, user experience, traffic, and conversions remain strong. On top of it, the company is benefiting from direct traffic in the realm of ~60-70%. That’s a big advantage compared to Booking or Expedia, which rely more on Google to drive user traffic. My view is that Airbnb is unlikely to fall victim to generative AI. Airbnb’s data is not easy to aggregate (unlike standardized hotel/flights). Chatbots will have to rely on Airbnb in one way or another. At the end, ChatGPT and Gemini will still have to direct users to Airbnb to complete bookings. There will be some negative effects, though. Airbnb will still own the transaction. But users who start with generative AI for trip planning will likely see fewer Airbnb listings. They will also spend less time on Airbnb's platform. This may reduce cross-selling opportunities and affect what users buy at the end. Comparatively speaking, platforms like Expedia and Booking may suffer more under this scenario. Airbnb knows this and is acting up...

The Trump administration has failed to provide a nominee to become permanent director of the CDC despite a Wednesday deadline. The delay means that National Institutes of Health chief Jay Bhattacharya will continue to also steer the CDC, though he will lose the title of acting director. The trouble finding CDC's new leader is due to growing political and operational pressures, according to The Washington Post . The newspaper noted , citing officials, that about six people are under consideration, but the White House is taking its time to vet each candidate. Bloomberg recently reported that Joseph Marine, a cardiologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Ernie Fletcher, a family physician and former governor of Kentucky, are among the contenders. During President Trump's second term, the CDC has been mostly led by acting directors. Susan Monarez was director for barely a month, from July 31 to August 27, 2025, before being fired, apparently for refusing to follow orders from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding changes to vaccine policies. She was replaced by acting director Jim O'Neill, who was deputy HHS secretary at the time.

Postal carrier Marc Jacques delivers the mail in a neighborhood on March 19, 2026 in Miami, Florida. Joe Raedle | Getty Images The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday said it is seeking to impose a temporary 8% fuel surcharge for package and express mail deliveries to deal with rising transportation costs, which include higher oil prices as a result of the Iran war . If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission , the surcharge would take effect April 26 and remain in place until Jan. 17, 2027, the Postal Service said in a notice on its website. The 8% surcharge would apply to postage on Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select products. First-class stamps and other mail services would not be affected. Oil prices have jumped more than 40% since Feb. 28, when the United States and Israel attacked Iran .
