Walmart hits $1 trillion in market value for the first time

Walmart joined an elite group of U.S. companies valued above $1 trillion, driven by a 26% share rise and strong growth in e-commerce and AI investments, analysts said.

  • On Tuesday, Walmart, Arkansas-based retail giant, hit a market cap above $1 trillion, with shares rising as much as 1.6% to $126 after a rally that more than doubled the stock in two years.
  • Walmart's ecommerce investments worth tens of billions helped it compete with Amazon, while tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump caused a one-third pass-through to consumers, Jefferies estimated a 7 to 7.5 per cent price rise.
  • Analysts say Walmart's scale is evident, with nearly 11,000 stores worldwide and forecasted $700 billion revenue this month, supported by its strategy of investing through uncertain times.
  • Index inclusion boosted Walmart's valuation, attracting passive funds and increasing the Walton family's 44 per cent stake worth about $443 billion, the company said.
  • In leadership terms, Walmart recently switched its listing, entering the ranks of mega-cap firms like Apple and Microsoft, with Walmart surpassing $1 trillion in market cap.
