Really just depends on expectations.  AMZN wasn't making much if any profit for most of it's existence, but that was fine.  If you're expecting them to accumulate cash like AAPL, absolutely it'll be a while, but if all you're looking for is solid cash flow while maintaining growth and a couple billion left over every quarter after accounting for everything, you don't have to wait at all.

Amzn is tech. Walmart is not. Where is the AWS? Where is there Echo? Where is the AI? Apple is also tech and culture stock for obvious reasons.  
  
 Comparing Walmart is to Amazon is laughable at this stage. Better off comparing to Target.
