Analysis

Hope premium

Amazon.com, Inc. carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 253.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 42% yearly growth; analysts expect 21%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
