While Amazon benefits significantly from its diverse business units, including Amazon Web Services and digital advertising, Walmart remains a dominant player in retail, with its digital advertising revenue growing 46% to reach $6.4 billion last year. Walmart’s stock has increased approximately 32% over the past year, trading at about 45 times expected earnings.
Walmart’s revenue grew by roughly 5% on a currency-adjusted basis last year, with adjusted operating income rising 10.8%. Despite strong foundations and initiatives in automation and supply chain efficiency, Walmart’s current valuation may deter some investors as it commands a substantial premium in the market.
