- zamadatix 5y agoAccording to the page those numbers refer to FY 2019 or FY 2020. Per the second paragraph of TFA for the last 12 months Amazon has an estimated 610 billion in sales (which are part of revenue), not FY aligned. This actually lines up pretty closely to just naively expanding the y/y growth rate on the page you linked over time. In reality it slightly outperformed that.
- yann2 5y agoWalmart is ahead of Amazon by some 60B in q1 q2 rev and its increasing as covid effect/ecom sales start dropping. They will easily be ahead 100-120B ahead at the end of the year. Amazon cant touch those number any time soon unless covid suddenly surges and lockdowns restart. People are sick of sitting at home and going to Walmart is entertainment for a large segment of the population.
