These 4 Companies Could Still Hurt Amazon
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is often depicted as an unstoppable juggernaut in the retail and cloud markets. The numbers certainly support that thesis: It's the largest online retailer by annual revenue in the world, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) controls nearly half of the global cloud platform market, according to research and advisory firm Gartner.
Yet Amazon's revenue growth is decelerating, and the expansion of its online marketplaces and digital ecosystem are throttling its earnings growth. Meanwhile, four of its rivals -- Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Target (NYSE: TGT), Walmart (NYSE: WMT), and Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) -- could exacerbate that pain.
