All told, Google alone accounts for almost 60% of Alphabet's total revenue.</p>\n<p>This is no small matter. While most industries change over time in a way that opens the door to new and better competition, the search business as we know it is likely here to stay. Ditto for mobility.

Since we're already in the habit of \"Googling\" whatever we want to know and already familiar with the Android operating system, Google's dominance is well shielded for the indefinite future.</p>\n<h2>Walmart</h2>\n<p><b>Walmart</b> (NYSE:WMT) won't be winning any growth awards anytime soon. In fact, at the same time e-commerce giant <b>Amazon</b> is working to keep its growth in check, brick-and-mortar retailer <b>Target</b> is nipping at its heels.
