  • Each quarter in our Best Quality Ideas series, we break down a quality stock,

  • its business model, competitive advantages, valuation, and more.

  • For years,

  • we've seen the biggest companies continue to deliver the vast majority of the earnings growth in the S&P 500,

  • and that seems to only continue for companies like Amazon,

  • the three megatrends that Amazon is riding, a breakdown of their valuation by business segment,

  • how Amazon's culture of reinvention and long-term thinking positions it to keep compounding,

  • even as it nears a $3 trillion valuation and much more.
