Amazon.com Inc. has surpassed Walmart Inc. to become the world’s largest company by revenue, achieving $717 billion in sales for 2025 compared to Walmart’s $713.2 billion. This milestone is largely attributed to Amazon’s rapidly growing cloud-computing business, Amazon Web Services, which contributed significantly to its revenue. While Amazon’s victory over Walmart in terms of overall revenue is a significant achievement, some experts note it’s not solely due to outperforming Walmart in retail, but rather by expanding into new sectors like cloud computing.
