Try a discounted cash flow model

A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures below come from Amazon's 10-K. The four assumptions start at the same example values on every company page, so they are not The Filing Desk's view of Amazon. Change them to see what different assumptions imply.

From the 10-K
Cash and short-term investments minus debt and finance leases at December 31, 2025. Negative means net debt.
Weighted-average diluted shares in fiscal 2025.
Your assumptions
Long-run growth forever after year 10. Usually close to inflation.
The yearly return an investor wants for the risk. A higher rate gives a lower value.

How the value changes with two assumptions

Value per share in US$, with the growth rates above. The highlighted cell matches the current assumptions.
How the model works. Free cash flow grows at the first rate for five years and the second rate for five more, and each year is discounted at the discount rate. Everything after year 10 is valued as year-10 cash flow × (1 + growth after year 10) ÷ (discount rate − growth after year 10), discounted back ten years. Net cash is added and the total is divided by diluted shares. The result depends entirely on the assumptions. It is not a forecast, a price target or a recommendation, and this site does not show share prices.
