Viewpoint Network News: On February 20th, Amazon officially surpassed Walmart to become the world’s highest-revenue company. According to publicly available information, Walmart reported a 12-month sales of $713.2 billion as of January 31st, while Amazon announced a sales figure of $717 billion earlier this month for 2025.

This surpassing marks the end of Walmart’s 12-year streak as the world’s highest-revenue company. Over the past decade, this shift has been driven by the consumer focus moving online and the rapid expansion of AWS cloud services.

Specifically, Walmart’s Q4 revenue was $190.66 billion, slightly above the market estimate of $190.58 billion; adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.74, also higher than the estimated $0.73. The company projects an adjusted EPS of $2.75 to $2.85 for fiscal year 2027, significantly below the market estimate of $2.97; for the first quarter, it expects an adjusted EPS of $0.63 to $0.65. Due to the weaker-than-expected earnings guidance, Walmart’s stock price fell over 2% in pre-market trading.
