๐Ÿšจ Just released a new dashboard tracking politicians' fundraising.

It tracks which candidates different companies are funding, and who is donating the most.

Look up a politician to see their corporate donors.

Please share, the more eyes on the data the better.

The fundraising data is collected from FEC filings, and race ratings for members of Congress are provided with permission by The Cook Political Report via its API.

Yesterday I suggested that $AMZN was a good consideration at $187๐Ÿ’ต

Today, following its Q2 Report, $AMZN fell ~9% โ€ฆ As I stated:

โ€œ18.51x P/OCF*: $299.97๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~21% CAGR

17.00x P/OCF*: $262.48๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~17% CAGR

16.19x P/OCF*: $275.55๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~15% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have aggressive double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~16x P/OCF, a multiple well-below what itโ€™s trading for today, a multiple it hasnโ€™t treaded for since 2010, and a multiple below what may be justified given its growth rate

I also believe that the market is under-appreciating $AMZN FCF growth potentialโ€ฆ

AWS & Amazon Ads will continue to drive growth & profitability. In $AMZN Q1 2024 report:

โ˜๏ธAWS revenue: $25.03B
๐Ÿ“ˆAds revenue: $11.82B

Combined, these segments generated $36.85B net revenue (annualized = $147.4B โ€ฆ with ~37% Operating Income Margin)

Today at $187๐Ÿ’ต $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investmentโ€

When investing in stocks, it's essential to remember that prices don't always rise immediately

What sets quality investors apart from emotional ones is how they respond after a decline

It's crucial to approach investments calmly and strategically, piecing into positions over time

For instance, my research indicated that $AMZN was an good investment opportunity at $187๐Ÿ’ต; now, at $167๐Ÿ’ต, it's even more compelling

Unless you perfectly time the market every time โ€“ which is unrealistic โ€“ you'll inevitably face periods of losses

To succeed, you must become comfortable with temporary setbacks and resist the emotional triggers of fear and greed, which can cloud your judgment

Emotional discipline is vital to becoming a great investor ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ"

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~30% MORE in OCF & ~4% MORE in FCF per share

We're using P/OCF instead of P/E because Amazon's (AMZN) share price has historically shown a stronger correlation with Operating Cash Flow (OCF), as evident in the first attached graph

Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2024 - 2026:

2024E: $11.37 (40% YoY)
2025E: $13.61 (20% YoY)
2026E: $16.21 (19% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $AMZN ends 2026 with $16.21 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):
