•NTM FCF Yield: 2.72%
•10-Year Mean: 2.87%

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