Amazon Grew Revenue 20%. Here's the Only Reason I Can Think Of for Why Amazon Trades at Just 22 Times Forward Earnings.
The cost of Amazon's AI pivot may be weighing on the stock.
Overview
The price action on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock may leave investors scratching their heads. The 20% net sales growth is an improvement over 2025, when growth rates were barely above double digits.
However, despite an improved performance, its forward P/E ratio has fallen to just 22, a level that would have been unimaginable in Amazon's earlier years. Although we do not know for sure why it has become so cheap, one aspect of its financials may have made some investors hesitant to buy the stock.
