How Much Is Amazon Worth?
from the looking-at-the-fundamentals dept
It's funny how articles like the following couldn't be found a year ago. Here's an article that takes a close look at what Amazon.com is doing and how much their stock should be worth. The conclusion? A little over $3. I'm not sure I agree with all the assumptions and conclusions he puts into the article, but it does bring up some very good points about Amazon's growth rate, and the likley profit margin they can eke out of certain businesses. The Economist is running a similar article that looks at what Amazon is worth and they also suggest it's probably still overvalued.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

The Problem with Hockey sticks and blind dog legs
I have a friend who worked on the marketing of a drug that worked on ulcers. He got nervous when the market forecast exceed the population of the country let alone the people with ulcers.
We have this problem with many companies in telecommunications. Fundamentally, free phone service expanded the market, but it did change the dynamic of most phone calls. The projections that surf to talk would eat the phone companies alive were equally flawed.
I don't work enjoy forecasts with hockey stick market projections. Mixing metaphors if you are golfing and you don't know the turn of the dog leg its hard to place the ball.
