The recent bounce back of Amazon can be attributed to both sound financials and new business risks. Another proof that it is rather efficient in generating cash in relation to its prices is a P/Operating Cash Flow ratio of 30.74.

Amazon vs. Competitors: Why It Stands Out

What’s Next for Amazon Stock?

Apparently, experts continue to see the upside in the Amazon’s outlook for 2024. Further augmentation of AWS, AI investments, and a better macrosphere environment have been seen to aores the company for further growth.
