Motley Fool Urges $1,000 Split Into Amazon at $265.29 and Apple

On May 27 Motley Fool recommended splitting $1,000 between Amazon ($265.29) and Apple as top long-term buys. The call builds on its May 22 endorsement of both stocks for five-year holds and its May 24 expansion to include O'Reilly and Nike for 20 years. Amazon's latest metrics show AWS at $37.6B (+28% YoY), a $20B chip run-rate, $70B TTM ad revenue, and North American operating income surging 43% on 12% sales growth, reinforcing its multi-engine growth story despite regulatory risks.
