If you believe AMZN's faster growth and scale can justify a persistent premium to PYPL and the historical/DCF ranges are too conservative, then hold or add selectively because AMZN's valuation is supported more by growth durability than by current multiple parity.
AMZN appears dramatically more expensive than PYPL on both earnings and sales bases, with the model implying a -72.1% downside from the current price to $75.82. The gap is wide enough that the valuation case for AMZN depends on accepting a persistent premium for scale, growth, and quality rather than expecting convergence to PYPL-like multiples.
