Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) on Decifer

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 11% and those returns have been improving.
• Revenue is expected to grow about 13% a year, profits grew 29% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.

The current read

The evidence on AMZN lines up on the supportive side: trading volume is unusually heavy as the stock rises today, so the move has real participation. The independent signals we track are telling the same story.
