Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has delivered an incredible 233,100% gain for investors since going public in 1997. Even those who bought Amazon shares a decade ago have seen their investment multiply by more than 15, making many long-term investors millionaires over the years. With a $2.4 trillion market cap, Amazon still offers plenty of growth potential, particularly in its e-commerce platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-infrastructure side. While e-commerce sales continue to climb, AWS is the fastest growing and most profitable part of Amazon’s business, with significant room for expansion in the cloud-computing market.

Under the leadership of CEO Andy Jassy, Amazon has seen improving margins and profitability, with operating margin nearly doubling in the past five years. Despite trading at 39 times forward earnings, the combination of growth potential and margin expansion could make Amazon a better value than it seems. With room to grow both domestically and internationally, Amazon remains an attractive investment opportunity for those looking for long-term growth potential.
