Below please find a table outlining a discounted cash flow forecast for AMZN, in which we model out valuation assuming a variety of terminal growth rates. To summarize, we found that Amazon Com Inc ranked in the 36th percentile in terms of potential gain offered. We should note, though, that the most conservative analysis suggests this stock will yield negative results -- and thus may be a potential short opportunity. As for the metrics that stood out in our discounted cash flow analysis of Amazon Com Inc, consider:
- The company has produced more trailing twelve month cash flow than 97.34% of its sector Technology.
- The business' balance sheet reveals debt to be 5% of the company's capital (with equity being the remaining amount). Approximately just 17.67% of US stocks with free cash flow have a lower reliance on debt in their capital structure.
- AMZN's estimated cost of debt, based largely on its market capitalization and its interest coverage ratio, is 3%; for context, that number is higher than 47.48% of tickers in our DCF set.
| Terminal Growth Rate in Free Cash Flow | Return Relative to Current Share Price |
| 0% | -52% |

Shares dropped by 7.5% in the subsequent session after Amazon delivered revenue below the Street’s forecast of $115.20 billion, amid a surprisingly mixed quarterly statement. The soft revenue was not the only letdown. The company’s 3Q21 outlook calls for sales between $106 billion and $112 billion, at the mid-point, below the Street’s $118.89 billion forecast.
