  • In Episode 15 of "Market News with Rodney Lake," Rodney Lake, Director of the GW Investment Institute, reviews Amazon's recent financial performance, focusing on the increased debt levels on the balance sheet since Andy Jassy took over as CEO.

While Amazon's balance sheet remains stable with an interest coverage ratio of 11 times, Lake raises concerns about the company's future debt trajectory and ongoing valuation, currently trading at 33 times forward earnings.
