- Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) are listed among the top internet stocks at J.P. Morgan for 2022.
- In a note to investors, J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth wrote that e-commerce and subscription based names are the preference over online advertising, given easing comps, a reacceleration of growth and "an overall more favorable operating environment."

- Amazon (AMZN) shares have gained 6% year-to-date, while Meta (FB) and Netflix (NFLX) have returned slightly more than 24% and 14%, respectively.
- In addition to Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (FB), Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) is also a large-cap internet stock to own, given its growth at a reasonable price profile.
