How can you determine Amazon's current financial health using Amazon's return on assets and price to earning for 2019 as a metric.
Return on assets
- Return on assets (ROA) = Operating Income/ Total assets.
This financial ratio analyse the proportion of profit a company earns in comparision to its total resources. It is commonly defined as net income divided by total assets. Net income considered here is the profit after taxes reflected in Income and expense statement. ROAs over 5% are generally considered good but still it depends upon the industry margin and capital intensity.
Amazon.com's annualized Return on Assets (ROA) for the fiscal year that ended in Dec. 2019 is calculated as:
ROA | = | Net Income (A: Dec. 2019 ) | / | ( (Total Assets (A: Dec. 2018 ) | + | Total Assets (A: Dec. 2019 )) | / 2 ) |
= | 11588 | / | ( (162648 | + | 225248) | / 2 ) | |
= | 11588 | / | 193948 | ||||
= | 5.97 % |
Amazon.com's annualized Return on Assets (ROA) for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2019 is calculated as:
ROA | = | Net Income (Q: Dec. 2019 ) | / | ( (Total Assets (Q: Sep. 2019 ) | + | Total Assets (Q: Dec. 2019 )) | / 2 ) |
= | 13072 | / | ( (199099 | + | 225248) | / 2 ) | |
= | 13072 | / | 212173.5 | ||||
= | 6.16 % |
Analysis : ROA above 5% is considered good. If we analyse the above ROA of Amazon, percentage is pretty good. This shows Assets invested generate a good return in terms of income.
But only disadvantage here is it considers data for last 12 months because changes and fluctuations in the company's earnings or business cycles drastically affect the ratio drastically. ROA can be affected by events such as by goodwill, split, stock buyback or issuance, and, a company's tax rate and its interest payment. ROA may not reflect the true earning power of the assets.
Price to earnings ratio:
- Price to earnings (P/E) = Share Price/ Earning Per Share (EPS).
This ratio (PE Ratio) shows current investor demand for a company share. It is ratio of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share.
A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future. A P/E ratio of 40 is really high, a P/E ratio of 7 is really low, and a ratio of 14 represents the average over modern history.
Amazon.com has a trailing-twelve-months P/E of 93.57X compared to the Internet - Commerce industry's P/E of 29.03X. So if we consider current P/E ratio, it is very good in comparision to the standard ratio.
