Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $128.87, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that Amazon is trading below its fair value.

Though some indicators look better than others in comparison to previous reports, Amazon's overall fundamentals remain slightly under the industry average.
Price to earnings ratio has improved from 769.67 to 104.3, but remains below the industry average. An interesting indicator to look at is free cash flow (FCF). FCF is the cash a company has available to use. It is different from net income in that it includes the expenses of capital goods and changes in working capital. After analyzing Amazon's indicators, the company's FCF was the one to stand out. With a value of -9.42 billion, it is below the competition average and not doing as well as its trailing twelve-month average of 12.66 billion.
Amazon manages to remain at a rating of 'Buy'.
