Amazon makes Whole Foods its focus, abandoning the direct retail model
The market responded positively when Amazon announced its new business strategy, focusing on Whole Foods instead of maintaining physical retail stores. Amazon’s stock increased by 2% since this announcement and has recorded a 6% rise in 2026, indicating investor confidence in this new direction.
Whole Foods Becomes a Retail Development Hub
Amazon’s strategic decision includes shutting down the entire Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go chains to focus resources on expanding Whole Foods. This move shows the company’s recognition of the greater potential of the premium retail model combined with online delivery services, rather than competing directly in the low-cost retail segment.
Operating Costs and Workforce Impact
This transition is not without costs. According to NS3.AI, Amazon is expected to lay off approximately 30,000 employees. Additionally, the company has fully addressed customer complaints with a compensation package worth $1 billion, reflecting their commitment to maintaining customer trust during this transition.
Analysts Expect Whole Foods to Lead Growth
Most market analysts remain optimistic about Amazon’s future under the new strategy. The average price target from analysts suggests that Amazon’s stock has the potential to increase by over 25% from its current level. The shift toward Whole Foods is seen as a strategic move to optimize profits in the high-end grocery retail sector combined with a strong logistics system.
