Better Buy: Netflix, Inc. vs. Amazon

Over the last two decades, these companies have come to gradually dominate their respective markets. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the worldwide leader in e-commerce, while Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) has become the global leader in online streaming video, an area where Amazon also competes.

The result has been an absolute windfall for shareholders of the respective companies, with Netflix stock returning over 15,000%, while Amazon has seen 50,000% gains!

While those astonishing returns are laudable, investors today are less interested in past performance and much more concerned with future potential. With that in mind, let's look at finances, growth prospects, and valuation to determine which is a better opportunity for investors now.
