***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~61% MORE in OCF & ~5% 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 - 2026:
2024E: $11.08 (37% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $14.06 (27% YoY)
2026E: $16.86 (20% YoY)
$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $AMZN ends 2026 with $16.86 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):
18x P/OCF: $303.48💵 … ~19.88% CAGR
17x P/OCF: $286.62💵 … ~16.64% CAGR
16x P/OCF: $269.76💵 … ~13.30% CAGR
15x P/OCF: $252.90💵 … ~9.85% 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 traded near since 2010) & a multiple that’s justified given its growth rate
Also check out $AMZN FCF growth estimates 📈
2024E: $43.62B (19% YoY)
2025E: $65.73B (50% YoY)
2026E: $91.58B (39% 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 $211💵 $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: “I wish upon you plenty of pain and suffering”
“There’s a phrase that says you should choose your career based on your passion. And usually people connect passion with happiness… Nothing there is wrong, but there’s something missing. And the reason for that is because when you want to build something great, it’s not easy to do. And when you’re doing something that’s not easy to do, you’re not always enjoying it.”
Jensen continues:
“I don’t love every day of my job… And every day I’m not happy… But I love the company every single second. And so I think what people misunderstand is [they think] the best jobs are the ones that bring you happiness all the time. I don’t think that’s right. You have to suffer. You have to struggle. You have to endeavor. You have to do those hard things and work through it in order to really appreciate what you’ve done. There’s no such thing that is great that was easy to do.”
He tells the audience:
“I wish upon you greatness, which by my way of saying it, I wish upon you plenty of pain and suffering.”

RT @salestaxceo: Working at a startup isn't for everyone.
It’s demanding—it requires resilience, adaptability, and willingness to step outside your comfort zone.
But it also opens up endless opportunities for growth and impact.
1- Being a passive contributor isn’t an option. You’re the driving force—your actions directly drive impact.
2- The sky is the limit for those willing to step up and get their hands dirty. You can get as much ownership as you want.
3- If any startup tells you it's a 9-5 job…they’re lying to you. Startups succeed because people work like hell. It’s a constant grind.

Former CEO Eric Schmidt explains why Google fumbled its lead in AI
“Google decided that work life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning. And the reason startups work is because the people work like hell.”
He continues:
“There's a long history of companies winning in a genuinely creative way and really dominating a space and not making the next transition. It's very well documented. And I think that the truth is, founders are special. The founders need to be in charge. The founders are difficult to work with. They push people hard.”
Eric recalls having dinner with Elon Musk recently. Elon had a flight that night at 10pm for a midnight meeting with the team at xAI.
“The reason I'm being so harsh about work ethic, is that these are systems which have network effects. So time matters a lot.”
In most businesses (e.g. Coke vs Pepsi) time doesn’t matter. But if you’re in a business with network effects, working hard and moving faster than your competitors is critical.
