Amazon.com Undervalued but Premium on Revenue
Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a leading online retailer and marketplace for third-party sellers, accounting for approximately 74% of its total revenue. The company's international segments constitute 22% of its total revenue, led by Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
A comparison with its peers in the Broadline Retail industry reveals that Amazon.com has a lower Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 20.79, significantly below the industry average. This suggests undervaluation, making it appealing for investors seeking growth. Additionally, the company's current Price to Book (P/B) ratio of 5.05 is substantially lower than the industry average, indicating potential undervaluation.
However, Amazon.com's high Price to Sales (P/S) ratio of 3.62 suggests a premium valuation based on revenue performance. Nevertheless, the company's higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.61% and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $102.16 Billion demonstrate strong profitability and robust cash flow generation.
The gross profit of $104.83 Billion is significantly higher than its industry peers, with a revenue growth rate of 19.62% surpassing the industry average of 16.16%. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4 indicates that it relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity.
