Corporate Valuation Report: Amazon’s Financial Analysis
FIN 786 - Corporate Finance
Arizona State University
Amazon is the world's largest retailer that has been founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994. The
name of Jeff Bezos company was incorporated as Cadabra, where he sold books online. He
later changed the name from Cadabra to Amazon. In the 2000s Amazon grew to become a
company that not only sold books but could stream movies, music, and shop for a variety of
things from clothes to shoes, to household essentials, and more. He also introduced Amazon
Prime which led to customers being able to order any eligible product with two-day
shipping. As years go on Amazon created a kindle Fire, which is a tablet, where you can
download books and read them on the go. They have also introduced the Amazon Firestick
that allows customers numerous streaming channels. These two are just a part of Amazons
long line of devices they offer. According to Amazon they are led by four principles such as
"customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to
operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth's most
customer-centric company, Earth's best employer, and Earth's safest place to work."
(Amazon 2020). Amazon is a part of the E-Commerce Retail industry and has a market share
of "18.6%. Its competitors are Walmart at 4.0%, Apple at 3.7%, and eBay at 0.7%."
(ibisworld)
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9

"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through

their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in

percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE

of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.

history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total

and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.

a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It

ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.

net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in

obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of

making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
million selling partners worldwide." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers who shop on Amazon not
only shop with the retailer because of its vast number of available products but because
they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

they can receive that product very quickly with just a couple clicks. According to Amazon,
they are "#5 on the 2020 American Customer Satisfaction Index" and "is the #1 Top
Shopping Website and #5 Top Beauty Destination among Teens, Piper Sandler's Generation
Z Survey, 2021." (Blondel, 2020). Consumers are loyal to Amazon and trust the services they
provide because its products and services are consistent and reliable. Amazon also offers
space for small businesses owners to sell their products through their platform and offers
many tools and service providers to help sellers be successful.
Amazon is a fast-growing business that focuses on every aspect of their business through
marketing, technology innovation, customer service, and investing in their employees.
Amazon provides a selection of goods and services to many different customers around the
world.
Amazon consists of all kinds of businesses such as small businesses, medium businesses, and
family-owned businesses. To efficiently get customers what they need Amazon hires
employees around the world to work in their facilities and has world class facilities around
the world with "fulfillment network that is made up of state-of-the-art technology and a
variety of building types and sizes to support processing orders" (Amazon, 2020). Amazon
relies on transportation for delivery with both fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Amazon
also has a fleet of aircraft that provides fast and free delivery for their customers called
Amazon Air. To support customers around the world, amazon has customer service options
through phone, email, and chat services 24/7. They also have innovative self-service
solutions for customers to use. Alongside their employees who make customer satisfaction
a priority, amazon has collaborative robots and other technology that helps sort packages
making the customer and employee experience better. Not only is Amazon a large e-
commerce store, but it is also the world's largest and most comprehensive cloud called
Amazon We Services (AWS). This cloud provides infrastructure technologies like "compute,
storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial
intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things" (What is AWS).
According to Amazons 10k, they face business and industry risk with various factors and
uncertainties. As amazon continues to grow into new markets, and creating new innovative
products and services they are running into competition that "have greater resources,
longer histories, more customers, and/or greater brand recognition, particularly with our
newly launched products and services and in our newer geographic regions." (United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, pg 6) Because of amazons' fast growth, amazon says,
"fulfillment network and inventory optimization by us and third parties, we are exposed to
significant inventory risks that may adversely affect our operating results because of
seasonality, new product launches, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective
merchandise, changes in customer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in
consumer tastes with respect to our products,
spoilage, and other factors." (United States Securities and Exchange omission, pg 13) The
fluctuation in demand for product can influence their operating results.
The financial highlights that I determined from the analysis is that Amazon is a fast-growing
company. On AMZN Income Statement, in 2021 amazon cost of revenues grew by 21.7%
and in 2022 the growth rate was at 9.4%. The operating income for AMZN was at 8.6% in
2021 however in 2022 it became -50.8% which means AMZN has endured a loss and could
potentially require additional funding to fund its business operations. In 2021, AMZN had a
net income of 56.4% but in 2022, their net income was at -108.2%. This negative number for
their net income does not mean AMZN did not have success in sales, but it does mean that
their expenses and other costs were far greater than what they would have made in
revenues. Per the cash flow statement, in 2021 AMZN had a negative growth rate
percentage at -29.9% for cash flow from operating activities. This negative number can
mean that AMZN had an increase in the company's operating expenses from reinvesting
their earnings into their company's resources. In 2021 and 2022 the free cash flow was at -
158.8% and -14.7%. This can mean that AMZN had no cash left after satisfying all its
expenses. This is also a sign of poor financial health. Although AMZN debt ratio has
decreased since 2020, it is still relatively high and has risen by 1% from 2021. This high
percentage can mean that AMZN borrows a lot of money to finance their growth. The ROE
of -1.9% in 2022 means AMZN had a loss of income during that period and the ROA of -0.6%
is saying they generated loss as well. The Net profit Margin of -0.5% tells us that the cost of
production was more than AMZNs total revenues. Overall, by looking at the financial history
of amazon we can conclude that they are successful at generating the sales but have a lot of
expenses to cover.
Currently Amazon does not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Amazon has never paid
or declared dividends from its stock. Amazon focuses on growth and expanding the
company into different areas of the market. For example, Amazon has expanded into the
grocery and pharmacy corners of the market. The decision to reinvest the earnings versus
distributing dividends amongst shareholders is not a good or bad thing for investors. It
depends on the preference of the investor, whether you want a steady stream of dividend
income or want to focus on growth. If you are looking to have steady dividend income,
amazon would not be the For Find of Focal 20070 chaudheit mei0 1000

relation to its equity. Amazons equity includes the common stock and the retained earnings,
and its debts consist of bank loans and leases. AMZNs cost of both the equity and debt gives
a WACC of 7.6760%. The debt-to-equity percentage is at 98.1044%, which can pose a
financial risk to investors. While AMZN makes decisions on its capital structure, cost of
capital, and risk, they can minimize the cost of capital by lowering the cost of equity or
obtaining more debt to maximize its value. When we look at the income statement in
amazons' financial history from 2020-2022, we can see the total equity value of AMZN has
increased from 2020 to 2021. You calculate the company's value by multiplying its
outstanding shares by its share price. The share price in 2020 was 162.85 but increased in
2021 to 166.72. The share price increased as well between 2020 and 2021 as well. This can
mean more people wanted to buy stock on amazon that year. In 2022, the share price
decreased to 84.00 and the outstanding shares also decreased. This means more people
were wanting to sell their stock on amazon which increased its supply of stock
In 2022, Amazon had a growth rate of 9.4% from 2021. According to Mergent, Amazing
eamings estimates for 2023 are 55,685,000. This is 8.3% of last year's earnings. Mergent
continued with an estimate for 2024 of 626,858,900, which is 12.6% of the 2023 estimated
earnings. If amazon continues to grow and sustain at a rate of 12.6% each year their total
revenues will increase. All other items in the valuation were based upon last year's financial
history and statements. The NPV reflects how much the company can be sold at 5%, 10%,
and 18%. There is no guarantee that the company will be sold but it does give potential
buyers an outlook on what to expect from a company with a continuous stream of revenue.
The EVA was 12,808,652 in 2022. According to my five-year forecast for the company, this
amount is almost 5 times greater than the prior year. With being one of the world's largest
ecommerce platforms and reinvesting its earnings to grow the company into different
sectors of the market, this growth for amazon can be expected.
Amazon has a customer base of "over 300 million active customer accounts and over 1.9
