#1: Product Concentration
Amazon and its $136 billion in annual revenues have been built on its massive e-commerce business, but it has expanded to include other streams of income, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon Prime, the Kindle, Amazon Echo, Fire TV, Amazon Prime, the Dash Button and more.
While e-commerce is still the lion’s share of the top line, these other services are helping boost the bottom line.
Vanguard’s 17 Most Powerful Funds
None of these funds are among Vanguard’s most popular. But when combined properly, they outperform the average Vanguard investor by a whopping 179%. You’ll find their names — and how to grab the 179% extra profits that come with them — in this new Special Report. Click here to claim your copy now.
By comparison, TSLA relies on a mere handful of high-priced products that require advanced manufacturing. That’s magnified by the company’s history of missteps and delays, and could be increasingly problematic as Tesla embarks on its mass-market project, the Model 3. This will require ramping vehicle production from 1,088 per week to roughly 10,000 per week during the next couple years.
As InvestorPlace.com’s Will Ashworth recently remarked: “If the Model 3 doesn’t get the same kind of reviews from consumer product testing groups as the Model S gets, Tesla shareholders will look back on $300 as the price at which they should have sold.”
You could argue that the fold-in of SolarCity adds diversity to Tesla’s product line, but considering how unprofitable SolarCity was … it’s hard to factor that in as a positive yet.
