Valuation Lens
Sum-of-the-parts thinking is often more informative than a single multiple because AWS, advertising, subscriptions, marketplace services, and first-party retail have different margins and capital requirements. Scenario analysis should test AWS growth, retail operating margin, capex intensity, and advertising monetization.
Update Triggers
Refresh after a new annual filing, material quarterly filing, major acquisition or divestiture, material product or platform transition, major regulatory action, or another event that changes a core thesis assumption. A price move by itself is not a content-update trigger unless the page publishes valuation data tied to that price.
