Amazon’s Growing Financial Strength

Amazon’s operating cash flow has reached a record $148 billion over the trailing 12 months, driven largely by the growth of Amazon Web Services (AWS), which generated $137 billion in revenue and $48 billion in operating income. The company’s cloud segment saw a 28% year-over-year revenue increase in the first quarter, with over $225 billion in commitments from major AI players, including Anthropic and OpenAI.

Since its 20-for-1 stock split in 2022, Amazon’s shares have nearly doubled. The stock now trades at roughly 18 times cash from operations, significantly lower than the 32 times it traded post-split, despite improved profitability and stronger cash generation capabilities. Amazon’s investment in AI infrastructure, particularly with its Trainium AI accelerators and Graviton CPUs generating an annualized revenue of over $20 billion, positions it favorably for continued growth.
