3 azioni del settore dei beni di consumo che potrebbero crescere questo mese

As AI assistants reshape how consumers search, shop and interact online, they stand to fundamentally disrupt Amazon&#8217;s lucrative retail media business, according to venture capitalist Joe Marchese.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AMZN stock here.</a>
What Happened: Speaking on the Risk Reversal podcast on Sunday, Marchese discussed the growing threats to retail media since the advent of ChatGPT and other similar tools.
Explaining the role of advertising and media in supporting online commerce, Marchese spoke about the dynamics of search and sponsored placements, and how that is &#8220;pure profit&#8221; for companies such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), which is expected to generate $60 billion in revenue through this medium in 2025, according <a href="https://www.warc.com/content/feed/amazon-retail-media-ad-revenue-to-hit-60bn-this-year/10620">to</a> research firm WARC Media.

This, however, is changing with the rise of ChatGPT and other AI assistants, since users no longer have to go through traditional search before making any purchase decisions.
&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t exist in a world where I just ask ChatGPT, ‘What are the best batteries to get? Okay, buy me those batteries,'&#8221; Marchese says.
Marchese warns that this disruption goes well beyond just Amazon and Google's search ads. &#8220;It's not just search at Google, it&#8217;s search everywhere,&#8221; he said.
Platforms such as DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>), Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Instacart (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CART#NASDAQ">CART</a>), with their up-and-coming retail media businesses, are just as vulnerable, according to Marchese.
&#8220;Every business that you think about,&#8221; he says, if they have an advertising business, which is a driver of profitability, then the extent to which it relies on people searching will determine just how much of a disruptor AI will be, since search doesn&#8217;t exist in the world of ChatGPT.
Why It Matters: More than a month ago, the CEO of Perplexity AI, Aravind Srinivas, said the same thing: &#8220;this is the first time in two decades that Google is extremely vulnerable,&#8221; citing its ultra-high-margin search advertising business as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45536887/this-is-the-first-time-in-two-decades-that-google-is-extremely-vulnerableperplexitys-ceo-breaks-down-search-giants-margin-trap">strategic liability</a> in the ongoing AI arms race.
While AI is quickly emerging as a disruptor for one of Amazon&#8217;s most lucrative businesses, the company is successfully leveraging it to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/46003992/amazon-ceo-says-generative-ai-will-reduce-total-corporate-workforce">drive value for advertisers</a>, consumers and investors alike.
Recently, the company&#8217;s CEO, Andy Jassy, said that its AI offerings are currently being used by over 50,000 advertisers to plan, launch and optimize their campaigns on the platform. 
Price Action: Shares of Amazon were up 1.59% on Thursday, trading at $223.41, and are down 0.34% after hours.

AI Assistants Could Break Amazon's $60 Billion Retail Media Business, Warns VC: 'It's Not Just Search At Google — It's Search Everywhere'

A budget-conscious Reddit user in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/1ljp9nh/instacart_vs_in_person_shopping_cost_analysis/">r/Frugal</a> subreddit recently shared a side-by-side cost analysis of buying groceries through Instacart (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CART#NASDAQ">CART</a>) versus shopping in person. It sparked a wide-ranging conversation about convenience, cost, and tipping culture that many like-minded shoppers chimed in on.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paying For Convenience Adds Up Quickly</h2>
The original poster said they were feeling lazy and nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43671734/instacart-has-extensive-retailer-integrations-and-high-quality-shopping-experience-says-analyst">placed an Instacart order</a>. But curiosity kicked in. &#8220;I cancelled the order and went to the store (Wegmans) to buy the exact items,&#8221; they wrote. The result? The Instacart version would have cost $15.46 more for the same groceries.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a></li>
<li>Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a></li>
</ul>
That difference came from several sources: the fee, the delivery fee, the tip, and the per-item price increase, which also raises the tax. While some dismissed that increase as the cost of convenience, many commenters thought the markup was too steep.&nbsp; &#8220;Instacart marks up the prices majorly in my area. I&#8217;ve never even considered ordering from them,&#8221; one person wrote.
Others echoed similar concerns. One commenter said they stopped using Instacart after noticing that the substitutions and item quality weren't consistent with what they would choose themselves.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Disability, Illness And Transportation Make A Difference</h2>
Many Redditors said they rely on grocery delivery due to health issues, lack of a car, or extreme weather. &#8220;I&#8217;m disabled, and it can be really difficult to go grocery shopping sometimes,&#8221; one wrote. &#8220;It&#8217;s legitimately been so helpful while I try and get my health issues under control.&#8221;
Trending: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-company-may-have-found-a-way-to-treat-cancer-by-tricking-the-bodys-immune-system-and-early-studies-show-some-promise-find-out-how-you-can-invest-in-the-future-of-cancer-treatment">Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential.</a>
Another said: &#8220;I do pet sitting but don&#8217;t own a car&#8230; Given that my apartment and job both charge for parking—combined about $2.2K a year—I&#8217;ve calculated I&#8217;m coming out ahead getting my groceries delivered.&#8221;
There was also a practical angle: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45494677/ramit-sethi-reveals-3-quick-wins-to-save-100-without-giving-up-everything-you-love-you-dont-have-to-sit-at-home-with-the-lights-off">avoiding impulse spending</a>. &#8220;When I use a delivery service&#8230; I stick to my list and I can comparison shop better,&#8221; one user wrote. &#8220;Even though I pay a convenience fee for grocery delivery, my total spending has not increased.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tipping Sparked Heated Reactions</h2>
OP mentioned tipping $3 on the Instacart order, which many readers saw as too low: &#8220;If you're going to use a convenience service, you absolutely need to tip more.&#8221;
Several gig workers commented directly. &#8220;I obsess over picking good produce and make about $35 an hour,&#8221; one Instacart shopper wrote. Another added: &#8220;IC pay starts at $4 per order&#8230; We deal with lines, finding obscure products, our gas, time, and effort.&#8221;
However, as this is the frugal community, one person also wondered, &#8220;Do you tip the normal checkout person?&#8221;
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Curbside Pickup: The Budget-Friendly Middle Ground?</h2>
One solution kept popping up: curbside pickup. It avoids delivery fees and tipping, but still saves time. As someone said, &#8220;It&#8217;s the best of both worlds.&#8221;&nbsp;
Some retailers like Kroger (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) and Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) offer in-store prices for pickup, with people reporting they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-create-a-budget">stick to their budgets</a> better and avoid buying unnecessary extras.&nbsp;
And although Instacart and other delivery services can easily add 10% to 30% to your grocery bill. But for many, it's a worthwhile tradeoff.
