Several retailers — including some unexpected ones — had a strong Black Friday performance this year compared to 2024.

Consumers didn’t let financial and economic concerns stop them from shopping during the five-day holiday weekend.

Walmart Inc. had a merry Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with leading-edge technology and ship-from-store playing key roles.

The dust has settled on Cyber Weekend, and a majority of shoppers say that higher prices impacted their purchase decisions.

Cyber Monday retained its position as the biggest single digital shopping day of the year while the entire Cyber Week period reached new online sales heights.

U.S. consumers trended towards making numerous smaller purchases on Black Friday this year instead of buying big-ticket items.

Cyber Monday forecasts indicate it will retain its standing as the biggest single online shopping day of the year.

Black Friday e-commerce sales rose an impressive amount from last year’s record-setting totals, aided by consumer embrace of some shopping technologies and holiday deals.
