Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)
Amazon runs the largest online retail marketplace in the West, but its profits are driven disproportionately by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the leading cloud platform. A fast-growing advertising business and the Prime subscription round out the model.

Does Amazon.com, Inc. pay a dividend?
Amazon does not pay a dividend. It reinvests cash into logistics, cloud and new bets rather than returning it to shareholders.
How risky is AMZN?
Historically, Amazon.com, Inc.'s share price has been higher than the market (a rough beta band of ~1.1–1.3 — a long-run tendency, not a live figure). The structural risks worth understanding:
- Retail is a high-volume, thin-margin business that is sensitive to consumer spending.
- Growing cloud competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
- Very large capital spending on fulfillment and AI infrastructure.
- Regulatory and labor scrutiny given its size and workforce.
What gives AMZN its edge
Unmatched logistics and fulfillment scale in retail, plus AWS’s first-mover lead and switching costs in cloud infrastructure.
What actually moves the stock
- AWS growth rate — it drives the majority of operating profit.
- Retail operating margins and the advertising business.
- Capital spending discipline.
