Starting with Facebook, one of the most widely used social platforms continues to out perform and grow with the ever changing market. This company generates a large sum of their revenue from advertisements, which are still underpriced compared to other forms of advertisements. Along with the advertisement abilities, the social platform continues to add features that are similar to competitors such as Snapchat. Also, do not forget that Instagram is a part of Facebook and continues to be just as popular, if not more than Facebook. With the addition of Instagram stories, many people have all the features of two or three social networks all rolled into one.
Switching gears to Amazon, we can see that they are a powerhouse in the market and going forward they pose possibilities of growth in the food industry. The acquisition of Whole Foods is certainly a power move that have put many companies on notice. They are now offering prime members a benefit to shop at Whole Foods. I could go on and on about Amazon but I feel that it is very self-explanatory. They are the Walmart of the new Internet age.
Netflix has continues to grow and attract new subscribers by offering highly watched shows and movies. In the near future, Netflix will have to adjust even more as cable is on a steep decline and they must attract those individuals to continue growing their market share. Original shows on the platform will have people signing up and as long as their shows continue to attractive media attention, I think Netflix can sustain themselves into the future.
Google is the last of the FANG stocks and it is difficult to say what is wrong with the company. As long as they continue to adapt as they have, they should be in a position to succeed in one aspect or another. With the Google Home device and buying YouTube not to terribly long ago, they are staying at the top while others continue to play catch up.
FANG stocks continue to perform in the midst of a slowing market, but the largest issue at hand is if they are becoming overvalued and might they pull back in the near future. Either way, these stocks have proved us wrong time and time again, pushing along while we all are left in the dust. It would be a wise move to at least consider these stocks and see if they can fit into your portfolio.
