We can't give an honest read on this one right now.
Our model values a company on the cash it can hand its owners after paying for its own growth. For Amazon that number is not something we can compute today — so rather than estimate around the gap, we are leaving it blank until the next filings close it.
Why not
- What is missingOur growth figure is a three-year compound rate, and the year it compounds from was one in which Amazon spent more cash than it brought in. You cannot compound out of a negative number, so the rate the whole read leans on would have to be invented rather than computed. This clears as that year rolls out of the window.
Why show the page at all. Because the alternative is a number we don't believe. Every other company on TickerMath gets a fair value computed from its SEC filings; this one gets a plain explanation instead, which is the same promise kept a different way. This one is expected to change: we re-test every company against its new filings, and the read appears here as soon as the figures support it.
