BofA called out the importance of Amazon's retail margin because it has generated more estimated outperformance than its cloud business Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Fifty-one percent of respondents, a survey record, said they opted for Amazon's same-day delivery option. Based on these results, Evercore believes Prime same-day delivery is a "multiplier to purchase frequency and overall spend."

Travel experts told Business Insider they had noticed an uptick in clients opting for luxury air travel experiences, from private jets to first-class and premium-class plane tickets. Oliver Bell, cofounder of luxury travel company Oliver's Travels, said this trend could be partly attributed to "revenge travel," where people are "willing to spend more for incredible experiences" in the aftermath of the pandemic. AdvertisementBut you don't have to be flushed with cash to experience luxury air travel. "A lot of people assume that flying private is only for the rich and famous, the Elon Musk's of the world," Bell said. For example, Surf Air is an LA-based private jet company that offers unlimited private flying memberships for $295 per month or $3,540 annually.
