***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~28% MORE in OCF & ~4% LESS 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: $11.20 (38% YoY)
2025E: $13.22 (18% YoY)
2026E: $16.53 (25% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $AMZN ends 2026 with $16.53 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

18.54x P/OCF: $306.44💵 … ~22.3% CAGR

16.68x P/OCF: $275.80💵 … ~16.8% CAGR

14.83x P/OCF: $245.16💵 … ~10.8% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have aggressive double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~14.83x P/OCF, a multiple 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

Also check out $AMZN FCF growth estimates 📈

2024E: $54.59B (48% YoY)
2025E: $71.89B (32% YoY)
2026E: $95.63B (33% 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 $193💵 $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment
