All figures are Adobe Analytics (Adobe Digital Insights) US online spending for one calendar day, in billions of US dollars, as of November 4, 2026. Adobe tracks online transactions across US retail sites; other trackers (Salesforce, Numerator) report different and larger totals and are not mixed in. Growth is Adobe’s reported change on the same day of the prior year. Mobile share is the share of that day’s online sales made on phones, shown only where Adobe reported it for the single day. Days of $5 billion or more since 2020 are listed; earlier Cyber Mondays were below $10 billion and Thanksgiving Days of 2020–2023 ($5.1 billion, $5.29 billion, $5.6 billion) are left out for brevity. Multi-day events such as Amazon’s Prime Day or the five-day Cyber Week ($44.2 billion in 2025) are not single days. Forecast, not a result: Adobe projects $15.1 billion for Cyber Monday on November 30, 2026 and $12.9 billion for Black Friday on November 27, 2026; neither has happened yet and neither is ranked.[1][2][9]
