Portfolio update: I’m currently up 6% on Amazon this year.

 Holding the business long-term rather than chasing the next “hot” trade.

šŸ“Œ The question: Is Amazon still a bargain, or has the value run ahead of fundamentals?

Based on recent valuation metrics, there’s a decent case that it’s slightly undervalued — meaning I’m comfortable staying invested, but I’m not expecting fireworks tomorrow.

Patience and consistency: the quietly powerful combo.

Valuation snapshot & commentary:

  • Many analysts estimate a 12-month price target for Amazon somewhere around US$260-270, which implies ~20-25% upside from today’s price. Trefis+2StockAnalysis+2

  • One intrinsic value model puts Amazon at about US$251 versus current ~US$213, suggesting ~18% upside. Value Investing

  • On metrics: its trailing P/E (≈ 32x) is lower than many peers in the retail/tech space (peer average P/E ≈ 40x) — which argues in favour of relative value. Simply Wall St

  • On the flip side: its valuation is still above the broader market and the business must execute (especially in growth segments like cloud, advertising) to justify that premium.

My verdict:
I lean toward slightly undervalued, meaning Amazon has room to grow and isn’t wildly overpriced — but it’s not a screaming bargain either. If you hold it, you’re banking on continued execution rather than a margin of safety explosion.
