What drives Amazon's valuation
Amazon's valuation is especially sensitive to AWS operating margin expansion, advertising revenue growth (now a high-margin $50B+ segment), North America retail profitability, and free cash flow conversion as the heavy capex cycle normalizes. A slowdown in AWS growth or persistent retail margin pressure weighs on the multiple. Accelerating AWS margins, strong advertising take rates, and improving fulfillment efficiency support a higher fair value.
