At the same time, positivity around earnings was also a driver. \u2018Delivery Efficiency and Speed\u2019 was a key retail theme for Amazon in Q3 2021, with investment around transportation and delivery network also gaining key mentions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60885 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1172px) 100vw, 1172px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969.png 1172w, https:\/\/www.globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.globaldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PR13969-700x375.png 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1172\" height=\"628\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting theme for Amazon was \u2018Innovation\u2019, with sentiments up by over 2% in 2021 (until July) over 2020. GlobalData\u2019s Filing Analytics platform identified that Amazon was looking at implementing new initiatives in July 2021 to garner more small and medium businesses (SMBs) to its platform to strengthen its direct-to-customer approach. The company is now developing a new point-of-sale (POS) system.<\/p>\n<p>FedEx continues to lock horns with Amazon by entering into a partnership with Salesforce to boost e-commerce sales. E-commerce and ESG are key themes in FedEx\u2019s 2021 filings. Despite FedEx\u2019s air fleet strength, \u2018Fleet\u2019 related keywords have gained mentions in Amazon\u2019s 2021 filings compared to 2020, with news of Amazon looking at bolstering its air network.<\/p>\n<p>Pereira concludes: \u201cAmazon\u2019s drive for innovative offerings such as POS software, cashierless stores and payment technologies is fuelling positive sentiments. With Amazon using its resources to continue to disrupt the industry, it will be interesting to see if firms like Shopify can hold their own against Amazon, particularly seeing as Shopify has partnered with TikTok and Facebook, which will provide influencer-driven sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon\u2019s earnings transcript sentiments were 7% higher than FedEx in Q3 2021*, suggesting that the e-commerce giant is more optimistic compared to its counterpart, according to GlobalData.
