Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMZN

11/12/2026: AMZN (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Amazon.com Inc is a large-scale enterprise known for its global e-commerce marketplace and its leading cloud computing division, AWS. Its strengths lie in a robust logistics network, the sticky Prime membership ecosystem, and the high-margin profitability of its cloud infrastructure. The primary investment story centers on the company’s ability to leverage AI across both retail and cloud segments to drive future growth. However, investors must monitor risks related to antitrust regulatory scrutiny, intense competition from international retail platforms, and execution challenges in its expansive operations. As a growth-oriented stock, it remains a common choice for investors seeking exposure to long-term technological and digital consumer shifts.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMZN receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AMZN has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+31.1%) and solid revenue growth (+12.4%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 1.1%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AMZN's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $7.7B (1.1% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AMZN's strongest growth driver at +31.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+12.4%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-76.6%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 68.7% and approximately 91.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 8.83% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 6.92%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 5.88%
State Street Corp 3.67%
FMR Inc 3.38%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.16%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AMZN generates approximately $503 of gross profit, $112 of operating income, and $11 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and solid capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 19.73%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AMZN has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
