Recent developments indicate that Amazon may have reconsidered price hikes linked to tariffs following a call from President Trump to Jeff Bezos expressing displeasure. Meanwhile, Walmart announced an increase in prices for imported goods from China, acknowledging that despite their efforts to minimize consumer impact, they cannot fully absorb tariff costs. This situation allows Amazon to maintain margins by adjusting retail prices. Interestingly, Amazon continues to post strong revenue growth in its AWS sector, contrasting with its low-margin e-commerce operations, which face threats from rising expenses.
Amazon's e-commerce operations could suffer if expenses rise due to tariffs, making it critical for them to manage pricing strategies effectively.
Walmart's CEO acknowledged that tariffs are impacting pricing, indicating that even with efforts to keep prices low, costs will be passed to consumers.
