Which is better to buy: Alibaba or Amazon?
We do not advise what to buy. By the numbers: Amazon rose more over the year (+4.0%); Amazon is closer to its 52-week high; Amazon has the higher operating margin; Amazon is growing revenue faster; Amazon has the lower P/E. How to weigh such signs is covered in «How to analyse a stock».
Can I buy both?
Yes. Many hold several companies in one industry to avoid depending on one. A broad index fund often already holds the largest US companies.
When do they report?
Alibaba — Dec 1, 2026; Amazon — Feb 4, 2027.
