On September 22, 2026, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced it had become the first cloud provider authorized to handle NATO RESTRICTED data, marking a significant milestone for the company’s government‑cloud business.
Separately, valuation metrics released by GuruFocus on September 21, 2026 indicate that Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) is trading slightly above its estimated intrinsic value. The stock’s price‑to‑sales (P/S) ratio stands at 3.67×, modestly higher than its five‑year median of 3.44×, suggesting the market is pricing in continued revenue growth (GuruFocus, 2026‑09‑21). The proprietary GF Value™ model places the fair‑value target at $249.00 per share, roughly 1.9% below the current price of $252.96.
Amazon’s financial health remains strong, reflected in a GF Score™ of 93/100, which captures the company’s robust fundamentals across growth, profitability and momentum (GuruFocus, 2026‑09‑21). However, the firm continues to generate negative free‑cash‑flow yields (‑0.42%) and margins (‑1.5%), rendering traditional earnings‑based multiples like P/E less informative.
Insider activity over the past year shows significant net selling, with insiders offloading about $457.2 million worth of shares and no purchases reported (GuruFocus, 2026‑09‑21). Despite this, 51 premium‑guru investors hold AMZN positions, with recent flows roughly balanced between additions and trims.
Amazon’s broader strategy includes sizable investments in its workforce, such as a $1.9 billion boost to the Delivery Service Partner program by 2027 and a $230 million commitment to Whole Foods employee benefits announced earlier in September (GuruFocus, 2026‑09‑10). These initiatives aim to strengthen talent retention while the company expands its cloud, e‑commerce and logistics operations.
