Walton Net Worth Surges $50 Billion
Walmart's $1 trillion valuation reflects its tech-driven growth with 27% e-commerce and 53% advertising revenue surges, driven by AI and expanded delivery services, analysts say.
- On Tuesday, Walmart Inc. crossed the $1 trillion market-cap threshold, becoming the first traditional U.S. retailer to reach this valuation.
- A year-long rally helped drive the move, lifting Walmart stock nearly 26% and surging 468% over the past decade, outpacing the S&P 500's 264% gain.
- Digital sales and ad growth powered gains as Walmart's e-commerce revenue jumped 27%, advertising revenue surged 53%, and Walmart+ membership grew 12% this year.
- The result elevates Walmart into tech-sized company ranks, joining Nvidia at $4.5 trillion, Alphabet at $4.1 trillion, and Apple at $3.9 trillion after Nasdaq-100 inclusion last month.
- Betting on AI and partnerships will shape Walmart's next phase as John Furner, global CEO , accelerates technology investments to fend off Amazon, Aldi, and Costco.
