Amazon officially dethrones Walmart as America's biggest company - and it's not done yet

• $4 billion was all it took for Amazon to knock Walmart off pole position
• The two companies generated more than $700 billion each in annual revenue
• Amazon is now targeting much higher growth than Walmart

Amazon has officially overtaken Walmart as America's largest company after a years-long battle, with the ecommerce giant pulling in $717 billion in revenue for 2025, compared with Walmart's $713 billion.

Though the difference is relatively small, it marks the end of Walmart's 13-year stint at the top.

While the writing may have been on the wall after Amazon overtook Walmart in quarterly sales in 2025, however, while most of Walmart's revenue comes from the traditional sales channels, Amazon needed a far more diverse stream of revenues to climb to pole position.
