Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Trading at a Discount

May 14, 2014

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) is currently trading at a discount, according to Evercore Institutional Equities Analyst Ken Sena. He says he favors companies that are creating a healthy marketplace dynamic, and he believes Amazon is one of those.

“The company is very consumer-centric, but when you look at the amount of volume that goes through their platform, trades at a discount, I’d say, even to Wal-Mart (WMT),” Sena says. “It’s growing much faster, and it has the potential for margin leverage.”

Sena agrees with investors who think Amazon’s earnings per share are too low. However, he says Amazon has the opportunity to expand its margins because it is a strong grower with a huge addressable market and strong competitive barrier.

“Over time, all those things kind of point to I think a much better earnings per share story at a few years out,” Sena says. “So that’s one I really like.”
