Hi Victor!
May I know how did you get Ave P/CF ratio for Amazon to be at 31?
I tried
- 10 year data and got Ave P/CF of 23.2 and
- 5 year data and got Ave P/CF of 24.128
May I know if I have make a mistake somewhere?

Hi Theodore,
It is hard for me to look through the figures using image. Can you send the excel to victor@fifthperson.com

Hi Theodore,
I have look through your excel valuation on Amazon. Your figures are all correct after adjusting the years as mentioned by you in the email.
For Alibaba, you can just use PE ratio to value. Price to cash flow valuation is better for companies with cash flow more than net income by two times.
P.S: LOL I am just stating facts about Comfort Delgro :)

Hi Victor,
Amazon shares are falling. Seems really attractive now. It is the first time after Covid prices.

They also got hit with about USD 800 million fine.
Should I minus them off the operating cash flow and re-price the stock for entry?

Hi Theodore,
The fine is an exceptional item so it should not be removed from the operating cash flow. You can add the figure back.

replied 1 year ago but of course if you want to be conservative then include the fine.

replied 1 year ago Thank you! Can I use trailing Operating Cash Flow (59,323) to retreive my cashflow per share?
Hence my P to OCF is 25.4 and OCF/share is USD 113
Price to enter is roughly USD 25.4 x 113 = USD 2,950

Hi Victor,
I would like to seek your thoughts on Amazon’s valuation.
The Cashflow from Operations for FY2021 declined against FY2020, resulting in a current lower “fair value”. Do you think that:
Scenario A: FY2021 cashflow was exceptionally low, or
Scenario B: FY2020 cashflow was exceptionally high (due to pandemic scares/ lockdowns)
Thank you!

hi Theodore, may i know how you could get this info populated so fast in excel? is there tool to get this?
Ops.. not sure why it posted multiple times, sorry about that. Btw, I figured out the video from Victor and manage to plot the chart.
Hi Theodore, can I check what adjustments did you make for the cashflow values for 2016 and 2017?
Thanks.
You have to input 2020 figures in Year 2021. 2019 figures in Year 2020 PE etc…
Hi Theodore, I was actually referring to your operating cashflow values as per your attached pic.
The figures for 2016 and 2017 are different from what I have as follow:
FY2020: $66,064
FY 2019: $38,514
FY 2018: $30,723
FY 2017: $18,365
FY2016: $17,203
Hi Darren,
Your figures are correct. The attached picture have some figure that are incorrect.
Ok thanks a lot, Victor :)
