JUST IN: Senator Jeanne Shaheen has proposed a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizen's United.

This would ban companies from being able to spend unlimited money to influence elections.

There it is:

Long-term US inflation expectations have officially SURGED to 4.1%, the highest level since 1993.

Tariff front-running has led to a $300+ BILLION trade deficit in 2 months and consumer sentiment has collapsed.

Is stagflation ramping up?

JUST IN: Representative Robert Bresnahan just disclosed dozens of new stock trades.

Some of them are pretty interesting:

He is apparently day-trading Palantir, $PLTR.

He also bought more stock in the Chinese company Alibaba, $BABA.

He also bought stock in Boeing, less than a month before the massive F-47 contract was awarded to them.

Full trade list up on Quiver.

FT:

The public markets risk becoming a dumping ground. When the best assets are hoarded by private equity firms, venture capitalists, sovereign-wealth funds, and family offices, the IPO market gets the leftovers. As FTAV wrote on Thursday, CoreWeave, for all its AI hype, has massive debts, huge capex requirements, mounting losses, rapidly depreciating assets, a slew of related-party dealings, and a significant dependence on just two customers (Microsoft and Nvidia). Yet here it was, looking for public investors willing to take the plunge. CoreWeave is seeking public investment not from a position of strength, but out of necessity. 

The same pattern played out with WeWork and other cautionary tales โ€” companies that didnโ€™t go public because they were ready but because they had no other choice. The IPO market is ostensibly the showcase for the best and brightest. Now, increasingly, itโ€™s the venue for the desperate and the distressed, a place where overhyped, overleveraged, and overrated companies try to hang on long enough for insiders to exit.

If CoreWeave and Venture Global represent the vanguard of the IPO revival, weโ€™re in trouble. Public markets should be a launchpad for great companies, not a last resort for troubled ones. The only hope is that enough high-profile flops will force a reckoning, steering investors back towards quality โ€” or at least rational pricing. After all, private shareholders canโ€™t hold on forever.

*Important for $AMZN to continue expanding margins & increase profitability

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~55% MORE in OCF & ~10% LESS in FCF per share

We're using P/OCF instead of P/E. Historical data reveals a stronger correlation between AMZN's share price and Operating Cash Flow (OCF)

Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2025 - 2027:

2025E: $13.50 (25% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $16.77 (24% YoY)
2027E: $19.46 (16% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $AMZN ends 2027 with $19.46 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

18x P/OCF: $350.28๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~23.2% CAGR

17x P/OCF: $330.82๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~20.6% CAGR

16x P/OCF: $311.36๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~18.1% CAGR

15x P/OCF: $291.88๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~15.3% CAGR

14x P/OCF: $272.44๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.5% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have aggressive double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~15x P/OCF, a multiple less than what itโ€™s trading for today (a multiple it hasnโ€™t traded for since 2010) & a multiple thatโ€™s justified given its growth rate

Also check out $AMZN FCF growth estimates ๐Ÿ“ˆ

2025E: $50.46B (32% YoY)
2026E: $74.06B (47% YoY)
2027E: $108.96B (47% YoY)

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

โ˜๏ธAWS revenue: $107.55B
๐Ÿ“ˆAds revenue: $56.21B

Combined, these segments generated $163.76B net revenue โ€ฆ with ~37% Operating Income Margin

Today at 196๐Ÿ’ต $AMZN appears to be a strong consideration for investment
