Jim Cramer Isn't Worried by Analyst Downgrading Amazon.com (AMZN)

We recently published 13 Stocks That Crossed Jim Cramer’s Radar. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer discussed.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s GPU spending is a metric that Jim Cramer has closely tracked this year. He asserted in August, after the firm’s earnings report, that over-reliance on in-house Trainium AI chips might be hurting the company. Then, in August, Cramer discussed a Morgan Stanley piece that clarified to him that price-performance was the key metric of performance for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s cloud business. As a result, Cramer concluded that “the growth fears had to do, and I helped propound this, which was I think, in retrospect, ill-advised by me. That, Amazon was underspending with NVIDIA.” In this episode, he opined that Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s cloud business, AWS, is growing well and discussed a downgrade by Rothschild Redburd, which cut the rating to Hold from Buy and kept a $250 price target:

“Amazon hasn’t spent nearly enough, but David, they just did the bond deal. “Amazon Web Services, I’m going to see them. I think that their acceleration is good. Do I want to buy these stocks today? Let everybody, we had that great survey from Bank of America, let everybody sell these, let them, let people get out of them, then they’re a buy, that’s how the market works. According to How to Make Money in Any Market. “[After Carl Quintanilla mentioned AMZN and MSFT were downgraded by Rothschild Redburn to Neutral who looked at cost of the buildout relative to Cloud 1.0 and argued that GPU deployments required 6x the capital] Yeah, thank you, Thank you. . .look you’re trying to, you’re trying to be part of the industrial revolution. I don’t think that this is the railroads where Jay Gould wins because he was the dirtiest player. This is not that. What it is is a couple of companies that want to dominate and keep others out of the vertical. I think that’s, look, in 2000, who came out, who came out, Amazon, Google wasn’t public, that was it. . .I do think that you have to say, you don’t want to be a loser in this. . .”
