At US$170, Is Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Worth Looking At Closely?

Let's talk about the popular Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). The company's shares saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. The company is now trading at yearly-high levels following the recent surge in its share price. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price.

What Is Amazon.com Worth?

Great news for investors – Amazon.com is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is $241.72, but it is currently trading at US$170 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What’s more interesting is that, Amazon.com’s share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

Can we expect growth from Amazon.com?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Amazon.com. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since AMZN is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on AMZN for a while, now might be the time to make a leap. Its buoyant future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy AMZN. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.
