Can Amazon Continue to Dominate the Fast Cloud Security Market Growth?
Amazon AMZN, through its cloud unit Amazon Web Services ('AWS'), offers a wide range of security services that help organizations protect their data, applications and infrastructure. These services cover key areas like threat detection, identity and access management, application security, network protection, data encryption and compliance monitoring. Tools like GuardDuty, Security Hub and AWS Shield enable companies to detect risks early, automate responses and maintain control over their cloud environments. In addition to its built-in services, AWS provides access to hundreds of third-party tools through the AWS Marketplace, giving customers more flexibility to meet industry-specific security needs. This strong foundation comes at a time when demand for secure cloud solutions is rising rapidly. According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, the global cloud security software market is projected to grow from $50.11 billion in 2025 to $95.03 billion by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 13.7%. AWS, with its integrated tools and extensive partner ecosystem, is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this expanding market. To stay ahead of evolving threats, AWS continues to strengthen its offerings. AWS launched new updates to GuardDuty, Security Hub and Shield to better support organizations using generative AI. AWS also continues to expand its Marketplace offerings to support a broader range of customer security requirements. Reflecting the impact of these efforts, AWS reported $29.3 billion in revenues for the first quarter of 2025, up 17% year over year, contributing 20.4% to Amazon's total revenues. Our model estimate for AWS revenues in fiscal 2025 is pegged at $126 billion, indicating 17.2% growth year over year. As more organizations turn to AWS for secure, scalable cloud solutions, its security services remain a key driver of continued growth. AMZN Faces Stiff Competition in Cloud Security AWS is facing tough competition from Microsoft MSFT and Oracle ORCL as cloud security becomes a top priority for enterprises. Microsoft recently announced a strategic collaboration with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and industry partners to standardize threat actor naming. Microsoft's move aims to improve clarity in cyber threat intelligence and foster better coordination across the security community. Meanwhile, Oracle launched a first-of-its-kind National Security Defense ecosystem, focused on advancing cybersecurity, intelligence and defense capabilities. By supporting secure, mission-critical infrastructure, Oracle is strengthening its position in public sector and national security cloud deployments. AMZN's Share Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates AMZN shares have lost 4.4% in the year-to-date (YTD) period, underperforming the Zacks Internet – Commerce industry and the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector's growth of 2.1% and 0.8%, respectively. AMZN's YTD Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, AMZN stock is currently trading at a forward 12-month Price/Sales ratio of 3.07X compared with the industry's 2.01X. AMZN has a Value Score of C. AMZN Valuation Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2025 earnings is pegged at $1.31 per share, which has remained steady over the past 30 days, indicating 6.5% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for 2025 earnings is pegged at $6.22 per share, which has been revised upward by 4 cents over the past 30 days. The estimate indicates 12.48% year-over-year growth. Amazon currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double" Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months. Of those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian highlights the one stock set to climb highest. This top pick is a little-known satellite-based communications firm. Space is projected to become a trillion dollar industry, and this company's customer base is growing fast. Analysts have forecasted a major revenue breakout in 2025.

CrowdStrike vs. Okta: Which Cybersecurity Stock is a Better Buy?
CrowdStrike CRWD and Okta OKTA are both major players in the field of cybersecurity. While CrowdStrike specializes in endpoint protection and extended detection and response ('XDR'), offering AI-native cloud security through its Falcon platform, OKTA focuses on identity and access management, providing cloud-based solutions that help businesses safeguard user data. CrowdStrike and Okta are capitalizing on the rapid improvement of the cybersecurity space, fueled by the rise of complex attacks, including credential theft and abuse, remote desktop protocol attacks and social engineering-based initial access. Per a Mordor Intelligence report, the cybersecurity market is projected to witness a CAGR of 12.63% from 2025 to 2030. With this strong industry growth forecast, the question remains: Which stock has more upside potential? Let's break down their fundamentals, growth prospects, market challenges and valuation to determine which offers a more compelling investment case. The Case for CRWD Stock CrowdStrike provides its cybersecurity services mainly through its Falcon platform. CrowdStrike's Falcon platform is renowned for being the industry's first multi-tenant, cloud native, intelligent security solution. The Falcon platform helps in securing workloads across on-premise, cloud-based and virtualized environments running on several endpoints, such as desktops, laptops, servers, virtual machines and IoT devices. CRWD's cloud-based Falcon platform currently provides 29 cloud modules via a SaaS subscription model that is categorised under three categories - Endpoint Security, Security & IT Operations, and Threat Intelligence. The share of subscription-based sales to CrowdStrike's total revenues grew from 72% in fiscal 2017 to 95% in fiscal 2025. However, the company is facing several headwinds related to customers' negative sentiments since the global IT outage incident on July 19, 2024. The company has been implementing the Customer Commitment Package to retain its customers, which includes product additions and discounts, hence compressing its profitability. Regardless of all these measures, the company's upsell into existing customers showed signs of slowdown and the churn rate remained moderate. These factors are likely to weigh on CRWD's profitability in the near term. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CrowdStrike's fiscal 2026 earnings indicates a year-over-year decline of 10.94%. The Case for OKTA Stock Okta's latest financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 highlight its strengthening position as a leader in identity security. Its broad portfolio, which includes Okta Identity Governance, Privileged Access, Device Access, Identity Security Posture Management, Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI, and Auth for GenAI, continues to drive customer wins and expand its addressable market. It exited the first quarter with roughly 20,000 customers and $4.08 billion in remaining performance obligations, reflecting strong growth prospects for subscription revenues. Customers with more than $100K in Annual Contract Value increased 7% year over year to 4,870. Okta's ability to help organizations secure both human and non-human identities is becoming a key competitive advantage. During its last earnings call, the company noted that the recent boom in AI agents has resulted in a tremendous increase in non-human identities, and its Identity Security Posture Management and Privileged Access solutions have the capabilities to address this problem. Also, Okta's newly introduced suite-based pricing model is likely to encourage customers to consolidate identity solutions with Okta, driving cross-sell opportunities for the company. Okta is also benefiting from a rich partner base that includes the likes of Amazon Web Services, CrowdStrike, Google, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Microsoft, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Plaid, Proofpoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow, VMware, Workday, Yubico and Zscaler. These factors are likely to continue driving growth in OKTA's top and bottom lines. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Okta's fiscal 2026 revenues and earnings indicates year-over-year growth of 9.44% and 16.73%, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Price Performance and Valuation of CRWD and OKTA Year to date, CrowdStrike shares have appreciated 39.2% and OKTA shares have surged 26.2%. OKTA is trading at a forward sales multiple of 5.87X, below the security industry's 14.51X. Whereas, CRWD is trading at a forward sales multiple of 22.93X, indicating its overvaluation at present. Forward 12-Month P/S Ratio Conclusion: OKTA Is the Smarter Pick Right Now While CrowdStrike is still navigating the headwinds emerging from reputational damage caused by the global IT outage and shrinking profit margin, OKTA's focus on identity solutions, stronger earnings growth potential and low valuations make the stock more attractive for investors seeking growth in the cybersecurity space. Currently, Okta carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), making the stock a must-pick compared to CrowdStrike, which has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

CloudHospital and Microsoft Partner to Advance AI-Powered Healthcare Services and Expand Global Reach
Seoul, South Korea - June 23, 2025 - CloudHospital, a global healthcare technology platform led by CEO Suleyman Nazarov, has announced a strategic collaboration with Microsoft, represented by Joo-Hyun Song, Head of SME&C, to co-develop artificial intelligence–driven medical content services using Azure OpenAI Service and accelerate international expansion. CloudHospital provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to help hospitals and clinics attract and manage international patients. Through its infrastructure, medical institutions can build multilingual digital systems in over 40 languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian. These systems enable streamlined global marketing, patient scheduling, payments, and aftercare in a single platform. The platform also features AI-powered patient management, multilingual communication automation, and workflow optimization. As part of the collaboration, CloudHospital will launch its SaaS offering on Azure Marketplace and jointly develop an AI medical agent solution, guiding patients and supporting hospitals with automated communication. The two companies will cooperate throughout the entire development process—from proof of concept (PoC) to official release. According to CloudHospital CTO Hyounwoo Sung, 'Beyond generative AI, the project focuses on a multi-agent architecture where one AI generates, another reviews, and another manages. This layered model improves both safety and performance.' The initiative also supports content creation optimized for both Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), ensuring visibility across search engines and AI platforms. Additionally, CloudHospital is integrating Azure OpenAI Service into patient communication workflows to automate first- and second-stage interactions on platforms such as WhatsApp, including aftercare. Microsoft will provide guidance on technical implementation and ethical standards. The collaboration will support CloudHospital's global rollout, with plans to expand into the United States, Malaysia, and Latin America following recent launches in India and Singapore. A U.S. corporate entity is scheduled for establishment later this year. As a first step, a domestic seminar will be hosted in Q3 for Korean hospitals and clinics, focusing on the theme 'Activating Global Expansion Through AI.' CEO Suleyman Nazarov stated, 'By combining CloudHospital's medical content database and hospital data with Microsoft's advanced AI capabilities, a trusted, globally scalable healthcare platform is being developed to serve the next generation of medical innovation.'
