It's possible. I did a research report on Amazon many years ago since I kept hearing people gripe about them not being profitable. They turned a large enough profit on that year that they could've wiped out all their debt in 1 to 2 years. They could then just keep pulling in profit. It was clear they were instead re-investing all their money back into the company's operations for growth and dominance. They also had this growing business selling computing resources that had taken over a new market with projected long-term potential. ;)
