However, its core retail business is experiencing slowing growth, with North America segment sales rising just 8% and international segment sales growing only 5%. The overall revenue growth for core commerce is between 5% and 6%. Despite significant net sales of $126 billion in early 2025, operating profit stands at a modest $6.8 billion, highlighting the impact of thin margins. Competition from low-cost challengers like Temu and Shein is eroding market share and complicating growth prospects.
