Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 1 hour lecture on Bloomberg Terminal. It will teach you more about trading markets than a 2 month internship at Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan.

[CyrilXBT @cyrilXBT]

Most people will go to bed tonight the same way they woke up this morning.

Spend 1 hour with this.

A MIT lecture on generational wealth that teaches you more about money, compounding, and building something that outlasts you than 20 years inside any hedge fund, investment bank, or financial institution ever could.

Wall Street teaches you how to make money for someone else.

This teaches you how to build something for yourself.

The people who watch this tonight will make one decision differently this week.

That one decision will compound for the next 20 years.

The people who skip it will keep taking financial advice from people who profit when they stay confused.

Completely free.

“I can’t time stocks based on what they’re going to do this quarter or next quarter, and I don’t know anyone else that can either. If I’m right about where they’re going to be in 5 or 10 years, we’ll make a lot of money.”

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~54% MORE in OCF & ~23% LESS in FCF per share

We're using P/OCF instead of P/E. Historical data reveals a stronger correlation between AMZN's share price and Operating Cash Flow (OCF)

Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2025 - 2027:

2025E: $13.65 (26% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $16.77 (23% YoY)
2027E: $19.46 (16% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $AMZN ends 2027 with $19.46 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

18x P/OCF: $350.28💵 … ~18.9% CAGR

17x P/OCF: $330.82💵 … ~16.5% CAGR

16x P/OCF: $311.36💵 … ~14.0% CAGR

15x P/OCF: $291.88💵 … ~11.4% CAGR

14x P/OCF: $272.44💵 … ~8.8% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have aggressive double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~15x P/OCF, a multiple below what it’s trading for today (a multiple it hasn’t traded for since 2010) & a multiple that’s justified given its growth rate

Also check out $AMZN FCF growth estimates 📈

2025E: $50.28B (31% YoY)
2026E: $75.14B (49% YoY)
2027E: $109.56B (45% YoY)

AWS & Amazon Ads will continue to drive growth & profitability. In $AMZN FY 2024:

☁️AWS revenue: $107.55B
📈Ads revenue: $56.21B

Combined, these segments generated $163.76B net revenue … with ~37% Operating Income Margin

Today at $214💵 $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment

Before Apple, Steve Jobs was just a normal kid in California.

Until one day, he called the CEO of HP.

That one call gave Jobs the foundation that would later turn Apple into a $1 Trillion empire.
