The inventory market has been extremely unstable in 2025. On account of tariff uncertainty and recession fears, many shares have fallen 20% or extra.
For a long-term investor like myself, this sort of market turbulence can create superb shopping for alternatives. With that in thoughts, listed below are three shares I’ve been shopping for for my portfolio just lately.
Amazon
A couple of months in the past, I offered a bit little bit of my Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) holding when the inventory was close to $240 (primarily as a result of my holding was very giant). I’m not a buy-quick, sell-quick investor however with the share worth now beneath $200, I’m a purchaser once more.
Amazon strikes me as an organization with immense potential. Not solely does it stand to profit from the continued development of on-line purchasing (the place it now has over 200m Prime members), however it additionally stands to profit from the expansion of cloud computing, synthetic intelligence, robotics, video streaming, digital promoting, and digital healthcare.
At or beneath $200, Amazon inventory appears a steal to me. With analysts anticipating earnings per share (EPS) of $7.58 subsequent 12 months, the forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is beneath 26 at a share worth of $200 – that’s a historic low.
After all, a significant international recession might quickly halt the expansion story right here. Taking a long-term view although, I’m actually excited concerning the potential.
Uber
One other inventory I’m actually enthusiastic about is Uber (NYSE: UBER). I’ve been snapping up extra shares whereas the share worth is beneath $80.
Like Amazon, this firm has some ways to win. Immediately, it operates the most important ride-sharing community on the earth (170m customers worldwide). However it’s additionally having success with meals supply, digital promoting, and aircraft/prepare/boat bookings. Over time, it’s slowly turning into a journey ‘tremendous app’.
It’s value stating that in the long term, Uber might doubtlessly be a significant participant within the self-driving automobile house. That is one motive I’ve been investing. For firms with self-driving know-how, its person base may very well be very worthwhile. I believe it might find yourself being a requirement aggregator.
After all, Tesla’s know-how is a threat right here – it has large plans within the autonomous automobile entrance. With the inventory buying and selling on a forward-looking P/E ratio of simply 21 (utilizing the 2026 earnings forecast), nevertheless, I just like the risk-reward set-up.
CrowdStrike
The third inventory I wish to spotlight in the present day is CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD). It’s one of many world’s main gamers within the cybersecurity market.
I’ve been shopping for whereas the inventory has been beneath $350. There are a number of the explanation why.
One is that the cybersecurity trade is projected to expertise substantial development over the subsequent decade because the world turns into extra digital. In accordance with McKinsey, we may very well be taking a look at a $2trn trade sooner or later.
One other is that cybersecurity spending is comparatively recession-proof. In an financial downturn, firms can slash advertising and marketing or promoting spending, however they’re not going to cut back cybersecurity spending – the dangers are too excessive.
Now, this inventory is higher-risk. Immediately, earnings are nonetheless small so the valuation is excessive (which implies excessive share worth volatility).
In the meantime, cybercrime is dynamic in nature. So, there are not any ensures that the corporate will proceed to have success.
This firm has a robust long-term development monitor document although. So, I’m backing it to do nicely over the subsequent 5 years.
