The high P/E values for these companies are usually giant signals they are overvalued.
Probably the only company that can legitimately sustain a ridiculous P/E is Amazon, and it’s because Amazon is the only large company willing to try weird shit and actually take product risks. I’m not a big fan of Amazon’s company culture, but I have to hand it to them that at least they try to do shit and see what works. Most companies beyond a certain size fall victim to in-house risk aversion through manager ranks to such a high degree that all innovative ideas are killed and only incremental product changes are allowed.
