The pandemic darling Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has been experiencing unprecedented demand despite easing social distancing policies. This is evident from the latest survey from Bank of America that indicates 60% of people search Amazon first when they are shopping online.
Google is standing at the second spot with a 23% score while eBay is the first choice for only 3% of people.
In addition to the latest survey, Benchmark analyst Daniel Kurnos says the postponement of the Prime Day Event from its schedule would add to sales growth. The analyst also suggests investors capitalize on the recent stock price selloff.
