Walmart Has Been in and Out of the $1 Trillion Club. Is Its Latest Removal Permanent?
Walmart's $1 trillion comeback looks realistic, with strong growth in e-commerce, advertising, memberships, and earnings continuing to reshape the retail giant.
Overview
Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) shares recently traded with a total market capitalization of around $820 billion, roughly $180 billion below the $1 trillion mark it crossed in February, and I do not think this exit is permanent, given how the underlying business is performing.
On Feb. 3, 2026, Walmart became the first traditional retailer to close a trading day with a market value of $1 trillion, with shares up 2.9% at $127.71. It was the 11th U.S. company to finish a session with a 13-digit valuation, joining a group made up almost entirely of technology names.
Details
The milestone landed just days into John Furner's tenure as chief executive after he succeeded Doug McMillon. The stock had climbed more than 28% over the prior year and over 14% in the first weeks of 2026.
