Amazon and Walmart run both retail business models. In contrast, Amazon started as a digital player, then expanded into the physical world, and Walmart instead successfully launched its e-commerce platform over the years.
In 2022, Amazon closed its divide in terms of total revenue, as it generated over $513 billion in revenue, compared to over $572 billion in revenue from Walmart.
While Amazon and Walmart are direct competitors in retail and now also e-commerce, at the core, the companies are pretty similar (both target variety and convenience, while Amazon obsesses over customer experience); in reality, Amazon is a company with many moving parts.
Indeed, by 2022, Amazon had various moving parts, such as advertising, and AWS.

AWS (cloud business), in particular, is a key element of Amazon’s business model today and also what contributes most to its profitability.

Walmart (also building a successful e-commerce operation) has remained focused on its core business.
