Is Amazon stock a buy?\nAmazon's 30,000-square-foot stores, which will debut in California and Ohio, are less than one-third the size of Walmart's conventional outlets. They're about one-sixth the size of Walmart Supercenter stores.\nWalmart, the behemoth of brick-and-mortar discount stores, is dueling Amazon, the giant of online shopping, in a battle over the future of retail, e-commerce and grocery shopping.\nMuch work remains for either company to win theAmazon vs. Walmart battle. Walmart needs to expand online operations while also managing 11,500 stores across 28 countries, of which 4,743 are in the U.S. It's in the process of redesigning 1,000 stores by the end of 2021. Its goal is to create a more streamlined and faster shopping experience for customers.\nAt the same time, Amazon must continue its aggressive rollout of warehouse distribution centers and figure out its strategy for building physical stores.\nAmazon Is Making Critical Investments\n\"The key question from here is when/if does the current investment cycle drive evidence of share gains and margin leverage,\" RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson said in a note. \"Only time will tell, but in our view AMZN stock is making critical investments as consumers increasingly demand faster shipping which should at least maintain share gains while, importantly, growing gross profit dollars.\"\nAmazon reported third-quarter results on Oct. 28. Adjusted earnings fell 51% from the year-ago period to $6.12 a share. Analysts expected $8.92 a share. Revenue climbed 15% to $110.8 billion, below expectations of $111.6 billion.\nFor its fourth quarter, Amazon forecast revenue in the range of $130 billion to $140 billion. That missed analyst estimates for $142 billion.
