Have we reached Peak Amazon?

3 signs it’s still a rocketship. 👇


“I missed the opportunity to invest in Amazon.”


No, I really don’t think you did.


Yes, Amazon just beat Walmart for the first time in 2025.


Yes, Amazon has “saturation adoption”.


But there’s a World of retail growth.


And Amazon is positioned for it.


Consider…


- U.S. retail market (2025): $5.34 trillion


- Amazon retail revenue (2025): $491 billion


- Ergo, Amazon revenue is 9.2% of total U.S. retail sales.


Will Amazon beat Walmart?


I’m not sure that’s the right question.


Walmart has 10% of the US retail market.


That leaves 81% of the retail market up for grabs.


And Amazon is coming for it.



Here are 3 reasons Amazon is still a rocketship:


𝟭) 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜, 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗺.


Able to build, train, deploy, and monetize AI at global scale.


𝟮) 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘄 (𝗔𝗪𝗦) 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗺.


- AI needs massive computing power, and AWS is ready.


𝟯) 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 “𝗼𝘂𝘁-𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆” 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀.


- Amazon is in margin improvement mode, while others are still unprofitable.



The bottom line?


It’s not Walmart that stands to lose to Amazon.


It’s everyone else. All 81% of them.
