Walmart and Amazon win through tech consolidation.
Walmart and Amazon are well-positioned to thrive amid consumer weakness because they are integrated online-offline retailers investing in AI and supply-chain technology to improve efficiency, and they benefit from consolidation at the top of retail as companies with mass, volume, and data will continue to grow bigger.
