Is Amazon-com stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Amazon-com stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Amazon-com's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Amazon-com's P/E ratio
Amazon-com's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 45x. In other words, Amazon-com shares trade at around 45x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Amazon-com's PEG ratio
Amazon-com's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7728. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Amazon-com's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Amazon-com's EBITDA
Amazon-com's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $104 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Amazon-com's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Amazon-com share dividends
We're not expecting Amazon-com to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Amazon-com's shares ever split?
Amazon-com's shares were split on a 20:1 basis on 5 June 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 20 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Amazon-com shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 95% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Amazon-com shares which in turn could have impacted Amazon-com's share price.
Amazon-com share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Amazon-com's shares have ranged in value from as little as $118.35 up to $201.2. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Amazon-com's is 1.147. This would suggest that Amazon-com's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
