One of the reasons (among many) is the expense treatment of stock based compensation was changed I believe as part of Sarbanes-Oxley. Companies are now required to expense stock given as compensation since it will have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders. Amazon issue billions of dollars in stock each year to its employees. Amazon also operates high cashflow but low margin businesses which make its net income very small. The company has emphasized free cash flow to investors for at least 20 years. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/stock-... |
