a must read for AMZN investor
.So why is growth slowing? Because at a $14 billion/year run rate, the law of large numbers is in evidence
I think it is reasonable to assume that percentage growth rates continue to moderate over the next several years and that is, I imagine, a pretty consistent theme in the expectations of both analysts and investors. Moderate is a subjective word. My thoughts are that percentage growth rates will decline 5-10 percentage points a year on average for several years to come but will still show growth that would make almost any other business green with envy.
This is a company with the opportunity to grow free cash flow very rapidly and to support significantly higher valuations for some time to come. The potential for positive alpha, while no doubt less in percentage terms this year than last year, remains substantial.
Overall, I find it hard not to expect that Amazon will continue to confound skeptics for many years to come.
