Amazon.com Summary

Amazon.com's stock price, in February 2020, was at $2,155.67.  The previous year, its stock price  was $1,601.  This is a growth rate annually of 34.65%.  From an investor’s perspective, this growth rate well exceeds overall market returns.

Amazon.com has not paid out dividends in the last five years.  The zero dividend payment policy may be due to the company’s need for internal growth.  However, over the next several years, investors should expect some type of dividends to be paid once the organization reaches the mature phase of their business cycle. 

Amazon.com Income Statement Summary

Cost of Goods Sold

Amazon’s cost of goods has ranged from 59% of sales to 67% of sales.  The 59% of sales were registered in 2019.  This shows that the company is doing a better job of negotiating prices for raw materials.  Also, such a good showing in this line item may be a result of Amazon passing on raw material cost increases to their customers through higher prices.  Regardless, the organization seems to have found a functional business model that allows for continued improvement in the cost of goods area.

Amazon.com Balance Sheet Summary

Inventory

Amazon’s inventory has more than doubled in the last five years; in 2015, the company had $10.2 billion in inventory.  As of 2019, this line item grew to $20.5 billion.  The reason for the increase in inventory would be that the firm has been investing significantly in its smart home technologies like Alexa and its Echo line.  In the future, inventory may become an issue for the company.  This is because technology tends to go obsolete relatively quickly.  When the company is designing and making its own smart home equipment, obsolescence is a major threat.  With obsolescence comes elevated inventory holdings.

Amazon.com Financial Ratio Summary and Analysis

Cash Ratio

The company’s cash ratio has fallen slightly over the last five years.  In 2015, its cash ratio was .47.  As of 2019, this line item fell to .41.  In other words, the company has approximately 40% of its current liabilities covered in cash.  This further strengthens the hypothesis that the company has little to fear from short-term insolvency.

Inventory Turnover

The company’s inventory turnover had increased from 10.45 in 2015 to 13.69 in 2019.  This ratio is actually quite surprising.  This is because the organization is investing significant funds in their smart home technology.  This type of technology often leads to obsolescence.  However, Amazon seems to not have an issue or problem with moving products in a timely manner.  Heck, they're actually doing better and better as time goes on.

Net Profit Margin

The organization's net profit margin had increased from .56% in 2015 to 4.1% in 2019.  Again, compared to other industry competitors, this net profit margin is actually below average, if not marginally average.  The company needs to take steps to mitigate costs in a timely manner to ensure streamlined business operations.  This action may lead to better operations as well as higher profits.
