Share of Combined Market Value

AMZN 74%WMT 26%

The two giants of US retail from opposite starting points: Amazon grew from online into stores, Walmart from stores into online. A large share of Amazon's profit comes not from retail but from its AWS cloud, which is why the two companies' margins differ so much.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
