Despite a massive rally in recent months, I'm reiterating my Strong Buy rating on shares of Amazon.com, Inc. The company's combination of a healthy e-commerce/Ads/subscription business, surging AWS sales, and soaring custom silicon business provides a slew of tailwinds to propel AMZN's future growth.

Logistics and advertising are evolving into high-margin, standalone platforms, likely to drive future margin expansion.
