Amazon plans to spend $6.8 billion expanding its same-day delivery hubs from 85 to over 1,000 by 2031, aiming to place fast-moving inventory within 10 miles of 80% of U.S. Prime members. This move targets Walmart's advantage of having 5,000 stores that serve as fulfillment centers, enabling Walmart to deliver 70% of online orders the same day. Amazon's strategy focuses on local inventory for frequently needed items like groceries and household essentials, separating immediate availability from broad product selection. As Walmart enhances its stores with automation, Amazon is building a dense network of smaller hubs to compete in speed and proximity, signaling a new phase in retail competition centered on owning inventory closest to customers.
Amazon shares rose 2.15% to USD 251.24 while Walmart shares dipped 0.84% to USD 106.60 on Pluang. Amazon's market cap stands at $2.65 trillion compared to Walmart's $852.88 billion. These figures highlight investor interest in both companies as of Sep 18, 2026 01:31 WIB.
