Amazon isn’t far from joining the $3 trillion club.
The $3 trillion valuation club is an exclusive group that only a handful of companies have ever joined. Currently, all four companies that have crossed this threshold are still in the club, with Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft all valued at $3 trillion or greater. And there’s another company knocking on the door: Amazon (AMZN +0.16%).
Amazon currently has a market cap of $2.5 trillion, so it’s only a stone’s throw away from entering the $3 trillion club. However, I think that’s just the beginning for the company since it has a lot going for it right now.
Amazon isn’t the company you think it is
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name “Amazon” is its e-commerce platform, which sells nearly every product available. That’s its most forward-facing segment to the consumer and what allowed it to grow from an upstart to the $2.5 trillion behemoth it is today, but it’s not what I’m most excited about as an investor.
Two of Amazon’s most important segments are ones that few people interact with on a daily basis. Its most important segments are the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing business and its advertising division. Both of these are the company’s fastest-growing segments, which align with importance and performance.
