***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~37% MORE in OCF & ~2% 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: $11.23 (38% YoY)
2025E: $13.31 (18% YoY)
2026E: $16.70 (25% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $AMZN ends 2026 with $16.70 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

18.51x P/OCF: $309.03💵 … ~26.03% CAGR

16.19 P/OCF: $270.40💵 … ~19.11% CAGR

13.88x P/OCF: $231.77💵 … ~11.59% 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 it’s trading for today, a multiple it hasn’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 potential:

2024E: $54.00B (46% YoY)
2025E: $71.74B (32% YoY)
2026E: $96.65B (34% YoY)

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

☁️AWS revenue: $51.31B
📈Ads revenue: $24.59B

Combined, these segments generated $75.90B net revenue (annualized = $151.80B … with ~37% Operating Income Margin)

Today at $178💵 $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment

Even a high-quality stock can be overvalued if purchased at the wrong time. It may take three years or more to recoup your investment.

Sometimes 15 years, think twice before you click

RT @HiddenValueGems: Berkshire took a $266mn position in $ULTA last quarter (c. 1.5% in share capital). I just ran a few charts to see how it screens on various metrics:

✅16% sales CAGR in almost 20 years, with a 8% avg 10-year net margin and never had a loss in the past 10 years.

✅Strong return on equity: 10-year avg - 38%.

✅Zero bank debt; Lease/EBITDA less than 1x.

✅ Strong FCF generation, almost all FCF goes to share repurchases. Share count is down 24% in the past 10 years.

Shares are not expensive, trading at c. 15x fwd P/E vs 10-year avg - 24x.
