The market seems to be focusing on the e-commerce slowdown despite having another potential trillion-dollar business hiding within the company. We are referring to Amazon's real money maker, AWS which we covered recently in a previous article.

Unit volumes, while obviously growing at lower rates off last year's large comp, continue to remain high, and we see strong demand for FBA [fulfilled by Amazon] and third-party sellers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>These are the words of CFO Brian Olsavsky. The company has drastically increased its Capex spending in recent quarters.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eda04fe155c341aadb815b88e4de1562\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"52\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Finbox</span></p>\n<p>As you can see from the image above, spending in the last 6 months has almost doubled compared to the same period last year. When comparing the most recent 4 quarters to the earlier 4 quarters pictured above, we can see that capital expenditures more than doubled.</p>\n<p>An interesting trend emerges when we compare the increase in capital expenditures and the revenue growth rate.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdf978e4997d829edb4d86aff5d90b5d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>We can see that Amazon's revenue growth tends to accelerate when capital expenditures are increased. Both metrics move almost in tandem with the exception of the period around 2006 where the benefits from the capital expenditures lagged a little. This makes sense because sometimes the benefits from investments might take a little longer to be realized.</p>\n<p>This trend also appears when comparing revenue growth to increases in SG&A:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53278401fd6a72576b4693b8782bfde3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Finbox</span></p>\n<p>Obviously, as spending increases on facilities, the company also needs to hire new employees to operate the facilities.</p>\n<p>Therefore, while growth is expected to \"slow\" because of difficult comps, it's very reasonable to assume it will once again accelerate as the company invests to improve its fulfillment centers and logistics:</p>\n<blockquote>\n First, we are adding a lot of capacity. If you step back, the Amazon fulfilled unit volume, so that's the units coming out of our fulfillment centers both retail and FBA have doubled in the past 2 years. And the AMZL, the delivery arm of our business, has more than doubled in that time period. So, you can see there's been very strong multiyear demand here that we're still catching up with from last year.\n</blockquote>\n<p>As the CFO stated in the quote above, Amazon is still trying to catch up with the demand that it is experiencing. This also boosts our belief that revenue will accelerate after the tough comps pass. Once Amazon catches up to the demand, it'll be able to meet it more efficiently and deliver more packages resulting in higher revenues.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon to Open Department Stores</b></p>\n<p>After disrupting the retail industry for decades and driving some once-prominent brick-and-mortar department stores to bankruptcy, Amazon has now decided to open up its own. The company already has some physical locations which include Whole Foods and other small stores for books and groceries.</p>\n<p>The new retail spaces will be around30,000 square feet, smaller than most department stores, which typically occupy about 100,000 square feet, and will offer items from top consumer brands. The stores will have a footprint similar to scaled-down formats that Nordstrom(NYSE:JWN), and other department-store chains have begun opening.</p>\n<p>Some might be wondering whether or not venturing into physical locations makes sense for Amazon. We believe it does because most shopping is still done in person.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d54bb0b484ee7be14cf479e672ce6a93\" tg-width=\"560\" tg-height=\"594\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>In fact, over 80% of Americans still shop in person as per the image above. E-commerce has made things much more convenient and is still expected to see strong growth in the long term. However, it's unlikely to outright kill brick-and-mortar altogether. Instead, e-commerce has raised the bar for physical stores where customer experience is now a crucial part of success. In addition, e-commerce still does have some limitations. There are times where people want or need a product right away and can't wait for it to be shipped.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Amazon is sitting on a huge pile of data that gives it a great insight into what customers want at different locations. This obviously increases the chances that the stores will be successful. Although it likely won't make a significant impact on revenue anytime soon, it makes sense for Amazon to venture into this space in order to complement its online marketplace.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>To value Amazon, we will use a 5-year DCF with growth and margin estimates from analysts.</p>\n<p><b>Our Assumptions:</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Risk-free rate: 1.26%</li>\n <li>Equity risk premium: 4.7%</li>\n <li>Beta: 1.14</li>\n <li>Equity cost: 6.67%</li>\n <li>Tax rate: 21.00%</li>\n <li>Cost of debt: 1.60%</li>\n <li>Cost of debt after-tax: 1.26%</li>\n <li>Weight of equity: 93%</li>\n <li>Weight of debt: 7%</li>\n <li>WACC: 6.29%</li>\n <li>Perpetual growth: 2.25%</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1194b2a13f120cc88ecc999422035b14\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Data by Finbox</span></p>\n<p>As you can see, analysts expect revenue to continue declining over the next 5 years.
