If indeed the public is looking for dividends, why is Amazon, a company that has never paid a dividend, such a valuable company?

Amazon has ~10 Billion outstanding shares and the current market price for one of those shares is ~$240.

If folks only care about dividends, why would anyone buy an Amazon share at that price?

You'd hope every publicly-traded long term minded company operates the same way Amazon does. Reinvestment of money they themselves earn in "growth" and still retain a trickle in profits.
