in comparison to its major competitors within the Broadline Retail industry. By
analyzing critical financial metrics, market position, and growth potential, our
objective is to provide valuable insights for investors and offer a deeper
understanding of company's performance in the industry.


AMAZON.COM BACKGROUND

Amazon is the leading online retailer and marketplace for third party sellers.
Retail related revenue represents approximately 75% of total, followed by Amazon
Web Services' cloud computing, storage, database, and other offerings (15%),
advertising services (5% to 10%), and other the remainder. International
segments constitute 25% to 30% of Amazon's non-AWS sales, led by Germany, the
United Kingdom, and Japan.

Company P/E P/B P/S ROE EBITDA (in billions) Gross Profit (in billions) Revenue

$1.85 3.04% MINISO Group Holding Ltd 24.39 5.76 3.98 6.68% $0.88 $2.03 19.29%

3.22 2.24% $0.06 $0.21 7.79% Macy's Inc 28.75 1.17 0.21 0.66% $0.29 $2.04 -3.79%
Nordstrom Inc 15.32 4.05 0.27 4.75% $0.3 $1.31 4.34% Savers Value Village Inc
22.41 3.81 1.13 5.09% $0.07 $0.22 0.53% Kohl's Corp 6.47 0.42 0.10 0.58% $0.28

5.36 1.7 7.12% $6.98 $14.45 7.84%



When closely examining Amazon.com, the following trends emerge:

 * Notably, the current Price to Earnings ratio for this stock, 47.81, is 2.22x
   above the industry norm, reflecting a higher valuation relative to the
   industry.

 * The elevated Price to Book ratio of 9.08 relative to the industry average by
   1.69x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.

 * The Price to Sales ratio of 3.85, which is 2.26x the industry average,
   suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales
   performance compared to its peers.

 * With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 6.19% that is 0.93% below the industry
   average, it appears that the company exhibits potential inefficiency in
   utilizing equity to generate profits.

 * Compared to its industry, the company has higher Earnings Before Interest,
   Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $32.08 Billion, which is
   4.6x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and robust
   cash flow generation.

 * The gross profit of $31.0 Billion is 2.15x above that of its industry,
   highlighting stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core
   operations.

 * The company is experiencing remarkable revenue growth, with a rate of 11.04%,
   outperforming the industry average of 7.84%.


DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO



The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio measures the financial leverage of a company by
evaluating its debt relative to its equity.



Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a
concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in
informed decision-making.

When comparing Amazon.com with its top 4 peers based on the Debt-to-Equity
ratio, the following insights can be observed:

 * When considering the debt-to-equity ratio, Amazon.com exhibits a stronger
   financial position compared to its top 4 peers.

 * This indicates that the company has a favorable balance between debt and
   equity, with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.52, which can be perceived as
   a positive aspect by investors.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

For PE, PB, and PS ratios, Amazon.com is considered overvalued compared to its
peers in the Broadline Retail industry. This is indicated by the high PE, PB,
and PS ratios. In terms of ROE, EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth,
Amazon.com's performance is relatively weaker compared to its industry peers.
The low ROE and high EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth suggest potential
challenges in generating returns and sustaining growth.
