Cyber Monday 2023 Sales Expected To Hit $12B: Amazon, Walmart And Costco Stocks At Bargain Prices

Even though the best Black Friday deals might just be starting to roll in, shoppers and investors should start planning for Cyber Monday.

This year, Cyber Monday falls on Nov. 27, following Black Friday. Many companies offer sales to lure online shoppers.

Cyber Monday 2022 was the largest retail e-commerce sales day in U.S. history. Consumers spent $11.3 billion online—up 5.8% over 2021. Adobe expects consumer spending on Cyber Monday 2023 to reach a record-breaking $12 billion, up 6% from 2022.

Estimates from Black Friday 2022 hover at about $9 billion in consumer spending. Companies anticipate Cyber Monday to generate even more moolah.
