Can $AMZN be a Value Stock?
I previously wrote about AMZN valuation risk here, and valuation will often be a concern for high-growth companies. Implicit in that view is a concern that revenue growth might decelerate (too soon).

Let’s assume that sellside estimates are representative of investor expectations for $AMZN (as discussed in my book, that is not always the case).
