Retail Stocks To Keep An Eye On - March 24th

Key Points

• MarketBeat’s screener identifies Amazon, Walmart and Alibaba as the retail stocks to watch because they recorded the highest dollar trading volume among Retail stocks in the past several days.
• Amazon (AMZN) pairs large-scale e‑commerce, advertising and subscription businesses with a dominant cloud segment (AWS) and consumer devices, so its performance is driven by both retail trends and cloud demand.
• Walmart (WMT) and Alibaba (BABA) offer contrasting retail exposures: Walmart is a global brick‑and‑mortar plus e‑commerce operator (including Sam’s Club, Flipkart and PhonePe), while Alibaba is a China‑focused commerce and tech platform spanning commerce, cloud, logistics and digital media.

Amazon.com, Walmart, and Alibaba Group are the three Retail stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool.
