1. Amazon

Amazon (AMZN 0.58%) is a leader in e-commerce, and its sales of both groceries and other essentials make it a company that could generate growth in any market environment. Its Prime program is another plus, as customers are likely to spend as much as they can on Amazon to amortize the cost of membership.

Meanwhile, the company’s cloud unit and major earnings driver, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is benefiting from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. AWS recently reached a $142 billion annual revenue run rate as customers rush to get in on AI products and services.
