Drone delivery with Wing
More than 1 million drone deliveries completed as of May 2026; Walmart reports service at 66 stores in four states.
The numbers
What it is
Walmart's drone delivery service, run with Wing (Alphabet) and Zipline, which carries small orders to customers within a short radius of a store. The company announced in January 2026 that Wing would add 150 stores, for more than 270 in total through 2026 and into 2027.
Why it matters to the stock. Drone delivery is a test of whether Walmart can deliver small orders faster and cheaper than rivals. Store count and cost per delivery are the numbers that show whether it scales.
