Amazon.com Announces Third Quarter Sales Up 34% to $43.7B
- rdlecler1 9y agoAmazon has a lot of upside potential but COGS is something like 80% of their revenue. Minus COGS their annual revenue will be about $20b with about a 5%-10% profit margin. Sure, they can increase revenue by 5x - 10x. Minus COGS that would bring them to parity with Google but with 25% - 50% of Google’s margins. As much as I like Amazon as a company it’s hard for me to square this with their valuation.
