Are Amazon, Yahoo stocks bargains?

Published: 20 February 1999 y., Saturday
Shares of Internet companies continued to rise in afternoon trading after CIBC Oppenheimer & Company analyst Henry Blodget said it is time to buy industry bellwethers Amazon.com and Yahoo following recent price declines. Shares of Amazon.com rose 9.75 to 99.25, while Yahoo rose 8.0625 to 136.9375. Since hitting records in mid-January, Seattle-based Amazon has declined by about half, while Yahoo has dropped about 40 percent. On Wednesday, Softbank, Japans_s top software distributor and a major shareholder in dozens of Internet ventures, sold part of its stock in Yahoo to finance new investments. Blodget is telling his clients it "may be time to buy" shares of the companies, CNBC reported. Shares of Amazon surged in mid-December after Blodget said it could reach $400 per share, prior to its 3-for-1 stock split.
