Amazon also had to be split?

Technology companies are at the moment on the road to split, and even e-commerce giant Amazon has also been eyeing.

Is good at market research company spin-off The Edge Consulting Group published research report has pointed out, Amazon in 2015 is expected to spin off its cloud services Amazon Web Services, allowing the latter to become an independent company.

The Edge said its expected AWS's profit margin is higher than Amazon's other businesses. If spun off, AWS services to obtain a higher valuation .

Amazon shares have fallen 25% this year. Partly because of investor concern about meager profit margin of the company. In this regard, Amazon refused to comment.

However, given Amazon's usual style, The Edge is expected to appear a little bolder.

For the AWS business finances, Amazon is almost silent. Some of the criticism about the company's strategy, as a founder of the company, owns 18% of Amazon's Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos) is often ignored.

International research firm Dealogic said the Amazon while the creation time is not long, but its rarely to spin off assets. Since 1998, the company, spent $ 5.9 billion in acquisitions, but only sold 128 million dollars in assets.

The Edge CEO jimu·aosiman (Jim Osman) said recent spin-off of tidal rise, even Amazon can't seem to stay away. Othman pointed out that HP and eBay at first resisted splitting, but they announced similar deals in the near future. According to the Agency expects to spin off businesses in the world with a total value this year will reach a record high of $ 664 billion, next year it will reach $ 775 billion.

Spin off will make Amazon's valuation closer to other competitors. The Edge report shows that Amazon's current Price to Sales Ratio of about 25% lower than the similar e-commerce and retailers.

The Edge said that another reason lies in its AWS split would make acquisitions of companies such as Salesforce.com or VMware. Salesforce.com and VMware, declined to comment on the reports.

The Edge is expected, AWS can reach 38 billion dollars worth of stock for sale, equal to the total valuation of Amazon to $ 195 billion, means higher than Amazon's current market value of the 36%.
