Amazon Tops Global Retail Charts
With $717B in revenue, Amazon dethrones Walmart, marking a historic shift in commerce.
Amazon has officially overtaken Walmart as the world’s largest company by revenue. For fiscal 2025, Amazon reported $717 billion in sales, surpassing Walmart’s $713.2 billion for the year ending January 31, 2026. This marks the first time Walmart has lost its top spot after more than a decade of dominance.
The shift reflects Amazon’s rapid growth, fueled by its e‑commerce platform and the continued expansion of Amazon Web Services (AWS). While Walmart still operates more than 10,000 physical stores worldwide,
Amazon attracts about 2.7 billion monthly visits across its website and apps, underscoring the global move from brick‑and‑mortar retail to digital commerce.
Amazon’s rise above Walmart signals a historic turning point in global retail, highlighting the dominance of digital platforms and cloud services in shaping the future of commerce.

Nestlé Ramps Up Infant Formula Production
Factories across Europe run 24/7 to prevent shortages after contamination recalls, as the company seeks emergency approvals to meet demand.
Geneva/Paris, February 2026 Nestlé has announced an emergency surge in infant formula production across Europe, running factories in France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands on a 24/7 schedule to prevent shortages.
The move comes after a contamination crisis forced the recall of hundreds of batches of baby milk products, sparking widespread concern among parents and regulators.
To meet demand, Nestlé sought special approval from Swiss authorities to operate night and holiday shifts at its Konolfingen plant, a key site for infant nutrition.
The company emphasized that the accelerated production is part of its commitment to restoring consumer trust and ensuring safe, reliable supply chains.
The crisis has drawn attention to broader food safety vulnerabilities in Europe, coinciding with Austria’s PFAS water contamination issues.
Regulators are now pressing Nestlé and other food producers to strengthen monitoring and transparency in their operations.
Nestlé’s rapid production surge highlights both the urgency of addressing safety concerns and the company’s determination to stabilize supply.
While the move reassures consumers in the short term, it also underscores the need for systemic reforms in food safety and quality assurance across Europe.
Coca‑Cola Poised for Record Dividend Boost
Analysts expect the company’s 64th consecutive increase — its largest since 2007 — driven by strong earnings, margin growth, and share buybacks.
Atlanta, February 2026 Coca‑Cola Company is expected to announce its 64th consecutive dividend increase later this month, marking one of the most significant boosts in nearly two decades.
Analysts project that the increase could be the largest since 2007, driven by the company’s strong earnings performance, expanding operating margins, and ongoing share buyback programs.
The anticipated dividend hike comes on the heels of Coca‑Cola’s robust Q4 2025 results, which highlighted resilience across its beverage portfolio despite global market challenges.
The company’s focus on product innovation — including nostalgic launches like Coca‑Cola Cherry Float — and strategic investments in coffee and community programs have reinforced investor confidence.
Market watchers note that the dividend increase will further cement Coca‑Cola’s reputation as a shareholder‑friendly company, appealing to both long‑term investors and income‑focused portfolios.
With strong financial momentum and a commitment to rewarding shareholders,
Coca‑Cola is set to deliver its most notable dividend boost in years, underscoring its stability as a global beverage leader.
FedEx Completes €7.8B Acquisition of InPost
FedEx’s €7.8B acquisition of InPost reshapes Europe’s last‑mile delivery landscape.
February 9, 2026 – Amsterdam/Warsaw FedEx Corporation, in partnership with private equity firm Advent International, has finalized a landmark €7.8 billion acquisition of InPost S.A., the Polish parcel locker pioneer.
The deal, announced on February 9, values InPost at €15.60 per share, representing a premium of roughly 17% over its last closing price, though still below its 2021 IPO level.
InPost operates across nine European countries, with a strong presence in Poland and a growing footprint in the UK.
The acquisition is expected to significantly expand FedEx’s reach in Europe by integrating its global air and ground delivery networks with InPost’s dominant out‑of‑home (OOH) parcel locker infrastructure.
Hein Pretorius, Chair of InPost’s Supervisory Board, stated that the companies will enter into commercialization agreements to leverage complementary strengths and pursue a shared vision of more efficient, consumer‑friendly logistics.
Market analysts view the deal as a seismic shift in European logistics, positioning FedEx to compete more aggressively against Amazon and DHL in last‑mile delivery.
This acquisition creates a logistics powerhouse by combining FedEx’s global scale with InPost’s innovative parcel locker system, reshaping the future of e‑commerce delivery in Europe.
China’s Global Strategy Turns to Africa
Expanding trade, infrastructure, and diplomatic ties
China has formally declared Africa a cornerstone of its global strategy in 2026, deepening economic and political engagement across the continent.
Beijing is accelerating investments in infrastructure projects, energy partnerships, and digital technology, while strengthening diplomatic ties with African governments.
Analysts say this pivot reflects China’s ambition to secure resources, expand markets, and build influence in regions where Western powers have scaled back direct involvement.
The move has been welcomed by some African leaders who see opportunities for growth and modernization, but critics warn of rising debt burdens and dependency on Chinese financing.
With flagship projects such as railways, ports, and renewable energy plants underway, China’s Africa pivot is reshaping the continent’s economic landscape and positioning Beijing as a dominant player in global geopolitics.
