In other words, some good traits to look for are valuations that make sense relative to a company's growth trajectory and market opportunity, and durable business models with proven track records. While there's no way to avoid volatility, owning resilient companies can at least help investors better weather near-term challenges (mentally and emotionally) since they know their investments have what it takes to endure.</p>\n<p>Two companies that fit this description are <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB) and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSCO\">Tractor Supply Company</a></b> (NASDAQ:TSCO). Here's a look at why both of these stocks are good bets for 2022 and beyond.</p>\n<h2>Meta Platforms</h2>\n<p>The case for Meta Platforms is straightforward. The tech stock's valuation is very cheap relative to the company's recent growth. Consider that the Facebook parent's trailing-12-month revenue and net income of $112 billion and $40 billion, respectively, are up from $71 billion and $18 billion in 2019. Even with such staggering recent growth, Meta Platforms trades at only 24 times its current level of earnings.</p>\n<p>While the company is running into some near-term growth headwinds related to <b>Apple</b>'s recent changes to advertising tracking and measurement, it's not like the suppressed growth Meta Platforms is expecting is poor. Management guided for fourth-quarter revenue to be between $31.5 billion and $34 billion. The midpoint of this guidance range represents 17% revenue growth. Further, analysts are still modeling for exceptional earnings-per-share growth over the next five years. On average, analysts currently expect Meta Platforms' earnings per share to compound at a growth rate of 21% annually over this period.</p>\n<p>Meta Platforms' network effect of billions of monthly active users makes its business very durable. Not only has the company's core Facebook platform consistently grown larger with no close challenger, but the company's other social networks with more intense competition (namely Instagram) have shown they can easily deploy features that imitate successful competitors, helping them stay relevant.</p>\n<h2>Tractor Supply Company</h2>\n<p>Some city folk may have never even stepped foot in a Tractor Supply store. But investors shouldn't overlook this investment just because they're not familiar with the retailer.

Microsoft's Azure ranked second with a 21% share, while all the other players held single-digit shares.</p>\n<p>That dominance makes Amazon and Microsoft two of the top plays on the global cloud computing market, which Grand View Research estimates will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1% from 2021 and 2028. But which tech giant is the better cloud play, as well as the stronger all-around investment?</p>\n<h2>The differences between Microsoft and Amazon</h2>\n<p>Microsoft and Amazon started out in very different places. Microsoft had traditionally generated most of its revenue from on-premise software before Satya Nadella, who took over as the company's third CEO in 2014, adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" mantra and aggressively expanded Azure, Office 365, Dynamics, and its other cloud-based services.</p>\n<p>Under Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercialized revenue rose from just 14% of its revenue in fiscal 2016 to 41% in fiscal 2021. Microsoft leveraged the strength of its on-premise software business to tether more businesses -- particularly retailers that competed against Amazon and didn't want to support AWS -- to its cloud services.</p>\n<p>Amazon, which still generates most of its revenue from its online marketplaces, launched AWS in 2002. However, it only started breaking out AWS' revenue and operating profits in 2015. That's when investors realized that AWS generated much higher-margin revenue than its retail business.</p>\n<p>Last year, AWS generated just 12% of Amazon's revenue but raked in 59% of its operating profits. AWS' higher-margin business enables Amazon to expand its retail segment and Prime ecosystem with lower-margin strategies, which arguably makes it the bedrock of its entire business.</p>\n<p>That's why Jeff Bezos, who vacated the CEO position earlier this year, handed the reins to Andy Jassy, the former chief of AWS.</p>\n<h2>Which tech giant is growing faster?</h2>\n<p>The pandemic generated headwinds for Microsoft while stirring up some tailwinds for Amazon. For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.</p>\n<p>But for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.</p>\n<p>Microsoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much.

Microsoft's Azure ranked second with a 21% share, while all the other players held single-digit shares.\nThat dominance makes Amazon and Microsoft two of the top plays on the global cloud computing market, which Grand View Research estimates will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1% from 2021 and 2028. But which tech giant is the better cloud play, as well as the stronger all-around investment?\nThe differences between Microsoft and Amazon\nMicrosoft and Amazon started out in very different places. Microsoft had traditionally generated most of its revenue from on-premise software before Satya Nadella, who took over as the company's third CEO in 2014, adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" mantra and aggressively expanded Azure, Office 365, Dynamics, and its other cloud-based services.\nUnder Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercialized revenue rose from just 14% of its revenue in fiscal 2016 to 41% in fiscal 2021. Microsoft leveraged the strength of its on-premise software business to tether more businesses -- particularly retailers that competed against Amazon and didn't want to support AWS -- to its cloud services.\nAmazon, which still generates most of its revenue from its online marketplaces, launched AWS in 2002. However, it only started breaking out AWS' revenue and operating profits in 2015. That's when investors realized that AWS generated much higher-margin revenue than its retail business.\nLast year, AWS generated just 12% of Amazon's revenue but raked in 59% of its operating profits. AWS' higher-margin business enables Amazon to expand its retail segment and Prime ecosystem with lower-margin strategies, which arguably makes it the bedrock of its entire business.\nThat's why Jeff Bezos, who vacated the CEO position earlier this year, handed the reins to Andy Jassy, the former chief of AWS.\nWhich tech giant is growing faster?\nThe pandemic generated headwinds for Microsoft while stirring up some tailwinds for Amazon. For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.\nBut for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.\nMicrosoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much. However, Amazon will likely face much tougher year-over-year comparisons:\n\n\n\n\nRevenue Growth (YOY)\nPrevious FY\nCurrent FY\nNext FY\n\n\nAmazon\n38%\n22%\n18%\n\n\nMicrosoft\n18%\n17%\n14%\n\n\n\nSource: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22.
