If you've been hunting for tech deals beyond TVs, the past few weeks have been a bit of a wasteland. But these extended sales can help you push through into spring. Soon, warmer days will come, and you'll be glad you grabbed that smartwatch or pair of AirPods while they were on sale.
Apple iPad 10th Gen ($269, originally $349): This iPad is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for slightly cheaper, this is still a steal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A14 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display.
Majority Sound Bar ($30, originally $40): You spend hundreds on a TV but are still relying on the built-in speakers? Why? For just $30 you can upgrade your audio (and finally understand what those British murder detectives are saying).

Apple Watch Series 10 ($299, originally $429): Planning to get serious about your workout regimen before summer? Snag yourself one of these. Packed with features such as a brighter display than previous models, advanced health tracking (including ECG and sleep monitoring) and seamless integration with your Apple devices, it's perfect for anyone looking to stay connected and monitor their fitness goals.
Hisense 55-Inch QLED 4K CanvasTV ($690, originally $1,000): This QLED TV delivers eye-popping clarity and vivid colors, offering lifelike, immersive visuals for movies, sports and other high-quality content and when turned off, it transforms into a work of art. At this price, you're getting a premium viewing experience that's hard to beat.
Vizio 50-inch 4K Smart TV ($216, originally $270): Still streaming shows on that 32-inch, 720p antique? If so, why? TVs have gotten insanely cheap, so upgrading to something that looks great won't even come close to breaking the bank these days. Take this Vizio for example. A few years ago this TV would easily cost $500 (that's exactly how much I paid for mine). Today, it barely cracks $200, and that's with 16 times the amount of pixels as 720p.
There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook, and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet.
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($160, originally $440): This No. 1 bestselling collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to an all-time low.
HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Cookware Set ($400, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each — and for nearly 40% off.
Ninja Creami ($169, originally $199): Keep the ice cream party going all year long with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen treats a breeze. It's on sale for less at Walmart than it is at Amazon ... (it's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more).
Keurig K-Express Essentials ($35, originally $59): Rise and grind! Just kidding — with this Keurig, making coffee is as simple as filling the tank with water, popping in a K-Cup of your choice and pressing a button. Let's face it, mornings can be hectic, and the last thing you need as you're rushing around is an involved java-making process. This speedy brewer takes all the work out, and it's down to an insane $35 (40% off).
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer ($167, originally $220): Air fryers are nothing new, but this one has two drawers for cooking multiple things simultaneously, saving you lots of time. Another nifty feature? The ClearCook windows, along with an interior oven light, allow you to keep an eye on your grub. In fact, this was one of the traits we called out in our roundup of the best air fryers: "All of its functions — from air-frying to roasting — worked and worked well. We also appreciated the clear basket panels for watching our food come along."
Nugget Ice Maker ($130, originally $300): My fridge, like many fridges, came with an ice maker, but it never seems to be able to make enough for my family of three. This ice maker is small enough to fit on your counter and even features a self-cleaning setting.
The clocks have sprung forward and spring is nearly here, so now is a great time to spruce up your home, inside and out. Bath mats that will keep your feet warm and dry as soon as you step out of the shower, an electric scrubber that practically does the cleaning for you, chairs and lights that will quickly turn your backyard patio into a springtime oasis ... these sales have it all.
Olanly Extra Soft Absorbent Chenille Bath Rug ($9, originally $15): Who wants to step out of the shower dripping wet and have the first thing your feet touch be a cold tile floor? With this markdown, you can grab one of these for less than the cost of most towels.
Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($30 with coupon, originally $50): It's 2025, why are you using elbow grease to clean your house when you could just pick up one of these bad boys and wake up tomorrow sans back pain, especially now that it is almost 50% off?
Jionjoy Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair ($110, originally $700): For lovers of mid-century modern and Scandinavian designs, this chair checks all the boxes.
Costway 6-Cube Bookcase ($113, originally $340): Want a better-looking, larger version of the cube bookcase above? At 67% off, this wood-look option is a steal that will class up any room and has plenty of volume to organize your home.
Tangkula Set of 2 Folding Dining Chairs ($160, originally $260): These folding dining chairs are easily stored away when you don't need them, yet look like proper dining chairs, so your guests won't be sitting around on metal folding chairs you got from your wedding registry back in 1999.
Whether the cold has done a number on your skin or you're tired of spending a fortune on in-office teeth whitening treatments, you're in luck: There's no shortage of deals on all your beauty must-haves. For starters, this teeth-whitening pen is designed for sensitive chompers, and it's over half off. Need to get your tootsies sandal-ready? This callus-removing gel makes quick work of any bumpy bits, and it costs far less than a pedicure at a salon.
Benefit Cosmetics Floratint Lip and Cheek Stain ($13, originally $26): Dab a few drops of this desert rose-hued stain on your cheeks or in the center of your lips and you'll be left with a pretty, natural flush.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit ($33, originally $50): Reviewers (and this writer) can attest that this kit delivers on its pro-level, smile-brightening claims. It promises to remove up to 15 years' worth of stains from your chompers. Plus, it's designed with sensitive smiles in mind.
Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover ($9 with coupon, originally $10): We're still a ways away from sandal weather, but winter is the perfect time to get those feet ready for primetime. This No. 1 bestselling spray works quickly to remove calluses and dry skin patches while providing essential hydration for smoother, softer feet. Just soak your feet in warm water, dry 'em off and apply this. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse it off and remove any leftover bumpy bits with a rasp or pumice stone.
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream ($14, originally $20): This top-selling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Baebody Eye Gel ($20 with coupon, originally $35): Fight dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and bags with just one product — how's that for a multitasker?
For many of us, one of the worst things about coming home after a vacation is remembering how un-hotel-like our bed is. But it doesn't have to be that way — and you don't have to spend big bucks to upgrade your sleep situation. Brands like Tempur-Pedic, Nectar and Oprah's beloved Cozy Earth are currently marked down so you can create the five-star bed of your dreams. From supportive mattresses and toppers to luxurious sheets, you won't want to snooze on these sales.
Saatva Classic Mattress ($1785, originally $2099): Been sleeping on the same mattress for over a decade? No judgment here. We get it — mattresses aren't cheap. But a good one? It'll change your life. Say goodbye to morning back pain and hello to deep, uninterrupted sleep. And with $410 off any mattress over $1,000 sitewide, better rest doesn't have to cost a fortune.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen ($230, originally $419): Tired of waking up with aches and pains? A topper is a fabulous option when you're not quite ready to part ways with your less-than-cloudlike mattress, or simply don't want to shell out tons of money for a new one. There's a lot to love about this model, from its lofty 3-inch height to its machine-washable cover. But what really sets it apart is the fact that it's constructed from Tempur-Pedic's signature memory foam. This adaptive material was designed to conform to your body's contours for custom comfort while minimizing motion transfer for a more restful experience.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set, Queen ($265, originally $331): This ethereally soft, breathable set is one of Oprah's Favorite Things, so you know it's good — and Yahoo editors adore it too (check out our review for more). Plus, save up to 25% sitewide.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Pillowcases, Standard, 2-Pack ($28, originally $59): Not only will these silky-smooth sleeves elevate the look of your bed, but they'll also feel divine against your skin. Save 40% on this gorgeous pair and more from the dreamy linen brand.
Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, Queen ($649, originally $1,664): Here's another option that's on the more budget-friendly side, though with over 40,000 perfect ratings, you wouldn't know it. It's 60% off!
Alwyn Home Sleep Bathild 3-Inch Mattress Topper, Queen ($94, originally $250): Snagging a queen-size mattress topper for under $100 might sound too good to be true, but it's possible over at Wayfair. This 56%-off deal scores you a medium-firm model that adapts to your body's contours and keeps things cool and comfy for custom support.
The key to making cleaning feel like less of a chore is having the right gear — and if the crumbs on your floor keep accumulating because the thought of schlepping a heavy vacuum around is too much to bear, we've got you. Want to upgrade to a lightweight stick vac? We found options from brands like Shark and Bissell on sale. Stick, wet/dry, robot: No matter which type you prefer, you'll want to snap it up while you can save big.
Onson Robot Vacuum Cleaner, 2-in-1 Mop Combo ($87 with coupon, originally $360): My first robot vacuum was a game changer when it came to keeping the main floor of my house clean. Just turn it on at night and those pesky crumbs and pet hair tumbleweeds just disappeared. But there are some messes that take a bit more than just vacuuming. No worries — this robot will do the mopping for you too.
Inse Cordless Stick Vacuum ($80, originally $270): We think it's pretty "Inse"-ane that such a sleek-looking vac could cost so little, but this bestseller proves you don't have to break the bank to upgrade your cleaning appliance. It runs for up to 45 minutes and weighs just over 8 pounds, making it a breeze to bring from room to room.
Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner ($88, originally $124): Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you'll want to check out this under-$100 Walmart bestseller, which has powerful suction to help eliminate stubborn stains (and their accompanying odors). We've often seen it on sale for $98, so grab it while it's $10 less.
DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum ($99, originally $159): Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and three-year warranty. This is as low as it's been in about a year.
Kuose Cordless Vacuum Cleaner ($96, originally $267): Who says you have to spend hundreds of dollars for a clean house? This cordless vac features three suction modes, can last up to 50 minutes on a charge (who wants to be vacuuming longer than that anyway?), has multiple attachments and will work on all types of flooring.
Soon enough, it'll be time to put your bulky puffer back in storage and get out the sandals, shorts and sundresses. Ring in the slowly rising temps with lightweight knits, flattering jeans and crossbody bags that are just as great for running errands as they are for date night and beyond.
Fantaslook Plaid Flannel Shirt ($17, originally $70): This versatile oversized shirt looks great over a T-shirt or tank top — or all on its own with your favorite pair of jeans or leggings. You can choose from 17 colors.
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes ($116, originally $165): These sock-like kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. This model is one of Hoka's most popular, so stock is dwindling fast.
London Fog Belted Trench Coat ($150, originally $250): This classic trench will be a wardrobe staple season after season, but it'll be especially handy during the upcoming April showers.
Kate Spade Madison Convertible Shoulder Bag ($104, originally $329): Available in three colors, this leather shoulder bag will work no matter what outfit you choose to pair it with. Plus, despite its relatively small size, reviewers say it's deceptively roomy.

Prediction: 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Nvidia by 2030
Key Points Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary of AI spending among big tech companies. But Amazon and Meta Platforms are two tech giants seeing very strong results from investments in AI, and their future could be even brighter. Both trade at compelling valuations, especially compared to how expensive Nvidia has become. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Since October 2022, Nvidia has seen its value increase by more than $4 trillion. To put that into perspective, no other company is even worth $4 trillion today. The huge surge in value for the maker of graphics processing units (GPUs) stems from a few big tech companies spending hundreds of billions on its chips every year. The four biggest hyperscalers are set to spend around $380 billion on AI infrastructure this year, and they have guided for significant steps up in spending next year. Nvidia is set to be the prime beneficiary of that increased spending for some time, but that doesn't mean the stock will continue to climb. Market prices are based on what investors expect in the future, and the expectations for Nvidia remain high. But two other AI stocks look like they could surpass investor expectations, pushing both companies to exceed Nvidia's value by 2030. Can Nvidia keep climbing from here? Continued growth in AI spending is giving investors more and more confidence that Nvidia can keep up its torrid sales growth. The three main public cloud providers all reiterated that demand exceeds computing capacity, which means they will continue to spend growing amounts to meet their customers' needs. Meanwhile, Nvidia is selling chips as fast as it can make them. That led to a 69% rise in revenue in the company's first quarter, and a 59% increase in adjusted income. But it's unlikely to see growth continue at this pace. All four hyperscalers are working on custom silicon solutions for their own AI training. Microsoft is reportedly planning to shift a significant portion of its spending to its Maia300 chip in late 2026. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is working on expanding the AI workloads that its custom Meta Training and Inference Accelerating (MTIA) chips can handle. And on top of all of that, AMD is starting to show progress in catching up to Nvidia, while continuing to offer excellent price performance. Investors should expect a significant slowdown in sales as Nvidia faces fierce competition for its share of data center servers and it battles with the law of large numbers. As supply-demand forces reach equilibrium, the chipmaker might not be able to command such high gross margins, either. That could weigh on earnings growth. But with the stock currently trading at more than 42 times forward earnings, investors seem to think those risks aren't going to materialize. I think it's more likely they will keep Nvidia from continuing to outperform the market at such a torrid pace, limiting how much more upside there is from here. If investors want to buy shares of a big tech company capitalizing on the growth of AI, the following two industry giants present better value with more upside. In fact, I expect they will both be worth more than Nvidia by 2030. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the largest provider of public cloud computing in the world with Amazon Web Services (AWS), making it one of Nvidia's biggest customers. While the company was caught flat-footed as generative AI took off in 2022, management quickly caught up with the competition thanks in part to its investment in Anthropic. Management continues to see strong demand for its AI services, with revenue more than doubling year over year. However, AWS's scale has masked that strong growth. The cloud services segment generated $116 billion in revenue over the last 12 months. That's roughly 55% larger than its next closest competitor, Microsoft. But AWS's 17% year-over-year growth looks disappointing compared to Microsoft's 39% growth in cloud services last quarter. Nonetheless, Amazon has mostly kept its market share despite strong growth by its competitors. What's more important is that the margin profile on AWS is extremely strong. The operating margin of 36.8% over the last 12 months is up from 33.4% a year ago. And while it took a dip in the second quarter, that's due to the timing of share-based compensation. The long-term trend shows continued improvement in margins. Meanwhile, Amazon's retail business is becoming very profitable in its own right. The North American segment saw its operating margin climb to 7% last quarter while the international segment's margin came in at 3.4%. Strong top-line growth of 11% for both helped, which was bolstered by high-margin ad revenue growth of 22%. The long-term trends favor steady revenue growth across Amazon's businesses with particular strength in its high-margin operations (namely AWS and advertising). That should result in earnings growth well above average. And as its spending growth on AWS slows down, free cash flow should rise to new records by the end of the decade. That gives the company more opportunities to invest for growth, just as it has managed to do throughout its history. The stock currently looks attractive amid a small pullback in price. 2. Meta Platforms Meta is another major Nvidia customer, but unlike Amazon, it only uses Nvidia chips for its own AI needs. In fact, it might be spending more on its own AI needs than any other company in the world. And Meta's second-quarter results are a clear example of why it's willing to spend so much. Sales grew 22% last quarter, and its operating margin expanded 5 percentage points. For some perspective, that's faster revenue growth than both Snap and Pinterest despite being a much bigger force in social media advertising. Meta's AI capabilities are a clear reason for the outperformance. Artificial intelligence has led to better recommendations for both advertisements and organic content. As a result, the company served up more ads and was able to command higher pricing per ad impression. Meanwhile, it's seeing strong uptake of its generative AI tools for ad creation, which makes it easier for marketers to create and test new ideas. There are a number of other opportunities that AI could unlock. Those include AI chatbots for businesses in WhatsApp and Messenger, which could drive increased click-to-message ads in Facebook and Instagram. And management has said its Meta AI chatbot built into its apps now has 1 billion monthly active users, giving it yet another surface to monetize with ads. It only recently started showing ads in WhatsApp and Threads. That should give it room to grow supply as demand increases due to its generative AI tools making advertising easier. Lastly, Meta is at the forefront of development in augmented and virtual reality. AI can unlock a lot of value in an environment that's also aware of your surroundings. The company has already seen strong early adoption of its Meta Glasses with AI built in. Shares look very attractive with an enterprise value around 16 times forward estimates on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). While depreciation of its data centers will weigh on its margins, the company is proving the investments are paying off with very strong revenue growth and by unlocking a lot of potential profits in the long run.

Tiger Global buys more Nvidia, Amazon, exits surging tech stocks
Billionaire investor Chase Coleman started his career at Julian Robertson's legendary Tiger Management, and when the fund closed in 2000, he started his own firm, Tiger Global Management. Now, Coleman is well known for chasing hot tech names worldwide, investing in both public stocks and private startups, keeping the aggressive style Robertson was famous for. Now the best-known "Tiger Cubs," Tiger Global has a 1-year performance of 41.38% and a 3-year gain of 105.17%, according to data from Stockcircle. Coleman's famous investments include early bets on Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) , as well as building positions in private companies like Facebook (now Meta (META) ) and LinkedIn before their IPOs. That same eye now guides his latest moves, blending bold new bets with timely exits. During the second quarter of 2025, Coleman significantly increased his portfolio value and shuffled key holdings. Here are some of his most notable moves. Image source: Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images According to a latest 13F filing, Coleman's Tiger Global ramped up its Big Tech bets in Q2, driving a 28% jump in the value of its public holdings from $26.6 billion at the end of Q1 to $34.1 billion as of June 30. That includes adding shares of several mega-cap tech names and starting a new position in a recently listed stock. Related: Warren Buffett buys battered stock, sells more Apple Amazon was the top buy. Tiger Global added its Amazon holdings by over 4.1 million shares, or roughly 62.2%, bringing its total to about 10.7 million shares by quarter's end. This major purchase vaulted the e-commerce giant's value in the portfolio from $1.25 billion to $2.34 billion, making it Tiger Global's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 6.9%. In Q2 2025, Amazon delivered a 13 % revenue increase to $167.7 billion. Still, Amazon shares slid after the Q2 earnings report as it gave lighter-than-expected income guidance for the current period. The fund also expanded its Reddit (RDDT) stake by 89.2%, bringing it to about 6.1 million shares. It also increased its exposure to the semiconductor leaders, adding shares of Nvidia (NVDA) by 6.8% to about 11.7 million shares. The move reflects confidence in Nvidia's position at the center of AI hardware demand. The stock is up 34% this year and is trading near a record, closing at $180.45 on August 15. The recent bullish narrative was partly driven by renewed access to China's market, after the U.S. approved AI chip exports under a deal requiring a 15% fee on China sales. The fund's stake in Broadcom (AVGO) also got a lift, with a 19% rise to about 2.7 million shares. The fund's Q2 filing showed a notable new position in Circle Internet (CRCL) , buying 125,000 shares of the stablecoin and digital payments company. The stock has fallen about 23.6% over the past month but remains up 116% since its June IPO. Wall Street analysts have an average price target of $171.43, suggesting roughly 15% upside. Tiger Global's biggest sales in the second quarter were Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings (PDD) , DoorDash (DASH) , and ServiceNow (NOW) . The firm exited PDD entirely, closing what had once been a sizable stake. PDD, the parent of Temu, is up 26% year-to-date. The sell-off may reflect caution over U.S.–China trade tensions or a decision to allocate capital in other tech names. Related: Cathie Wood sells $28 million of popular AI stock In DoorDash, Tiger Global sold nearly all of its holdings, about 98.8% or roughly 2.17 million shares. The fund first started a position in DoorDash in late 2020, exited in the fourth quarter of 2022 after a prolonged slump, and then rebuilt the stake in the third quarter of 2023. Fund manager buys and sells Stocks & Markets Podcast: Sectors to Avoid With Jay WoodsVeteran fund manager sends urgent 9-word message on stocksFund manager explains why tariffs may not be a big deal after all The stock is up nearly 50% year-to-date. The recent sale could mark another deliberate exit, taking advantage of a higher price to lock in gains. ServiceNow was also reduced. Tiger Global cut the position by 48%, leaving about 300,000 shares. While ServiceNow remains a strong player in enterprise workflow software, the reduction also likely suggests a profit-taking approach.

Amazon analysts turn heads with surprising take on grocery plan
Amazon analysts turn heads with surprising take on grocery plan originally appeared on TheStreet. In April President Trump revived a nice old-timey word during what he called his Liberation Day tariff speech in the White House Rose Garden. 'It's such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries," he mused. "It sort of says a bag with different things in it." 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 Yes, it indeed does sort of say a bag with different things in it. And those things translate into a multitrillion-dollar market as people buy fresh produce, dairy, meat, snacks, bread, beverages and household essentials Supermarkets remain a dominant force in the grocery sector with 69% of consumers regularly shopping there, according to Statista. Online grocery shopping is on the rise with more than 138 million consumers using daily services last year. Amazon () is looking to bag a chunk of this massive market, and on Aug. 13 the e-commerce, entertainment and tech giant cranked up the volume. Amazon claims quick and easy experience The Seattle company said customers in more than 1,000 cities and towns could now order fresh groceries with same-day-delivery orders. It plans to expand to more than 2,300 cities across the U.S. by year-end. 'By introducing fresh groceries into our same-day-delivery service, we're creating a quick and easy experience for customers,' Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement.

Members of the Amazon Prime subscription service will get free same-day delivery on orders $25 or more or pay $2.99 if an order falls below the minimum. Non-Prime customers pay a flat $12.99 fee regardless of order size. "Amazon indicated that the company generated over $100 billion of grocery and household essential sales in 2024 (excluding Whole Foods), so the company already has grocery traction on with consumers," Bank of America Securities said in a research note. The investment firm, which has a buy rating and $272 price target on Amazon shares, said fresh grocery has been a significant missing piece in Amazon's offering compared with competitors like Walmart () and Target () . Walmart is currently the top grocery retailer measured by dollar share, according to data from Numerator. As of Q1 2025, 21.2% of the grocery-market share belonged to the company. "With better grocery capabilities, Amazon should see important customer frequency benefits and potential lock-in with weekly grocery shopping not achievable in other verticals," BofA said. "We expect Amazon to refine and improve its grocery selection over time." The investment firm sees the launch as a longer-term competitive risk for delivery company Instacart, although it said Instacart's most profitable $75+ weekly baskets would see little near-term impact, B of A has a neutral rating on Maplebear's () Instacart. Analyst: Key Amazon questions remain After Amazon unveiled its enhanced fresh food offering, Wells Fargo said it was hard to see the news as anything but an incremental negative for food and staples retail. There are hurdles to winning in ultracompetitive grocery, it investment firm, which has an equal-weight rating on the shares, said the move was not thesis-changing for retail of staple goods, but it requires monitoring, according to The Fly. While the move looks like a concern for peers given the sheer size of the Prime member base, winning in grocery is not a layup for Amazon, Wells said. Key questions on the breadth of the offer versus local grocery players remain. It's mportant to note, Wells Fargo said, that many customers already have grocery-delivery options. Evercore ISI noted that Amazon's expansion of same-day delivery to include perishable groceries marked a significant strategic move into one of retail's most competitive and high-retention categories. The firm said the move deepened Amazon's customer engagement by strengthening a high-frequency purchase category into the Prime ecosystem, increasing loyalty and longtime customer value. The deeper integration of groceries with Amazon's vast general merchandise offering positions the company more aggressively against competitors like Instacart and Walmart+. By setting a relatively low free delivery threshold of $25, Evercore said Amazon applies pricing pressure that may challenge rivals' ability to compete on convenience and cost. Given that this segment is a $1 trillion-plus market in the U.S. and perhaps $2 trillion-plus across all of Amazon's global markets, there should be a large growth opportunity here, the firm added.
