What matters nowUpdated 7 h ago

On October 7 it set out its holiday plans, led by Express Pickup, which gets app orders ready in as little as one hour and expands nationwide in the coming weeks 2.
  • On October 5 Walmart published an open letter disputing economist Lindsay Owens's claims that it uses personal data and weather to set higher prices, saying it does not engage in dynamic pricing 3.

Insiders sold 8.97M shares worth $1.07B over the last 180 days and bought none, with 19 of the 26 sales under planned schedules.
  • Walmart's Q3 FY27 earnings are estimated for November 19, 2026, not yet confirmed. Upcoming macro releases include September CPI on October 14 and advance retail sales on October 15. Polymarket odds give 81.5% to no Fed rate change after the October 2026 meeting and 17.5% to a 25 bp increase.

Walmart is the largest retailer in the world by revenue, selling groceries and general merchandise through about 10,900 stores in the US and abroad, plus Sam's Club warehouse clubs and a fast-growing e-commerce and advertising business. In fiscal 2026 (ended January 31, 2026) net sales were $706.4 billion. Walmart U.S. still makes up about two-thirds of sales, while the market now watches e-commerce, advertising and membership income for margin growth.

How it makes money

Walmart earns most revenue from selling groceries and general merchandise in its stores, clubs and websites, with thin margins on food and higher margins on everyday items. It adds membership fees from Sam's Club and Walmart+, and advertising sold to suppliers through Walmart Connect and Vizio TV screens, which carry much higher margins. Profit growth depends on e-commerce fulfillment costs, pricing investment, and how fast advertising and membership income rise.
