03:21 PM EST, 12/06/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com ( AMZN ) and Walmart ( WMT ) reported strong sales growth during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, driven by discounts on popular items such as Fire TV devices and perfumes, Reuters reported Friday, citing spending data.

E-commerce sites Shein and PDD Holding-owned (PDD) Temu posted double-digit percentage growth, while Target ( TGT ) and Best Buy ( BBY ) faced declines in spending, the report said.

US shoppers spent $10.8 billion on Black Friday, up 10% from last year, and $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday, a 7.3% increase, Reuters reported, citing Adobe.
