About Walmart Inc (WMT)
Walmart Inc. is America's largest company by revenue (~$680B), the largest private employer in the US and in the world (~2.1 million associates), and the largest retailer on Earth. Listed on the NYSE under WMT and headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, Walmart operates ~10,500 stores globally including Walmart Supercenters, Neighborhood Markets, Sam's Club, and international banners (Walmart Mexico/Central America, Walmart Canada, Flipkart in India). CEO Doug McMillon has led the company since 2014 through a successful transformation from a store-focused retailer into an omnichannel + digital powerhouse.
Walmart is best-known for its US grocery dominance — it's the #1 grocer in America by market share (~25%) — but the high-growth story is elsewhere. **Walmart U.S. e-commerce** has scaled to ~$85B and is finally profitable, driven by pickup + delivery from stores (Walmart owns the largest fulfillment fleet in the US) and Walmart Marketplace (a third-party seller platform competing with Amazon). **Walmart Connect** — the advertising business — has quietly grown to ~$4.5B/year at high margins, using shopper data to help brands market to Walmart's ~250M weekly customers. **Walmart+** membership (Amazon Prime competitor) has ~30M members and adds another lever of engagement and margin.
Walmart's investor thesis has shifted meaningfully. It's no longer just a defensive consumer-staples holding — it's a growth story driven by e-commerce, ads, membership, and store-as-fulfillment-hub economics. Same-store sales are growing at healthy 3-5%, operating margin is expanding, and free cash flow supports both a growing dividend (50+ consecutive years of increases) and consistent buybacks.
What Walmart Inc Actually Does
- Walmart U.S. Supercenters + Neighborhood Markets (~4,700 stores)
- Sam's Club warehouse clubs (~600 US locations)
- Walmart International (Mexico, Central America, Canada, India/Flipkart)
- Walmart U.S. e-commerce (~$85B, growing 20%+)
- Walmart Connect advertising business (~$4.5B, growing 25%+)
- Walmart+ membership (Amazon Prime competitor, ~30M members)
- Walmart Health (primary-care clinics) — divested 2024
Investment Thesis
E-commerce + advertising + Walmart+ are all high-growth, high-margin businesses that are re-rating the stock away from traditional grocery multiples. #1 grocery share in US is defensive in any recession. Dividend Aristocrat with 50+ years of consecutive increases. Winning higher-income customer during inflation.
Amazon Prime + Amazon Fresh continue to invest heavily against Walmart's grocery lead. Operating margin at ~4.5% is thin compared to specialty retailers. International Walmart continues to have mixed execution (departed Argentina, Brazil, UK — focused on Mexico + India). Stock has re-rated to ~28x forward EPS — no longer 'cheap.'
