Justin Kuczmarski, MBA, CPA, CVA, ABV, President of NAV Valuation & Advisory LLC ("NAV"), recently appeared on Clear Cut, the nightly news program on global channel i24, to discuss Amazon's proposed acquisition of Whole Foods. Mr. Kuczmarski appeared on the Friday, June 16th, broadcast.
In discussions with Anchor Michelle Makori, Kuczmarski noted that diversified synergies, the enviable brand of Whole Foods, and operating margin growth were all prime drivers for the acquisition of organic food pioneer.
In response to a question on what should propel the Amazon stock going forward, Kuczmarski emphasized the trend in Amazon's operating profit margin. He highlighted how growth in operating profit margin from 1.0% in 2013 to the current 3.0% threshold had fueled the surge in the stock price over the last five years.
Kuczmarski also noted that it was unusual for Amazon to be making an all-cash bid given that Amazon is trading near an all-time high. Amazon's bid represents nearly two-thirds of the retail giant's $21 billion in cash and short-term investments, a structure he dubbed a "large bet" irrespective of the success and size of Amazon. Even with possible debt financing down the road, the transaction nevertheless represents a large percentage of current cash liquidity.
