Walmart Inc. became the world’s first retail company to reach a $1 trillion market capitalisation in January 2026 after a sustained rally in its share price. The milestone highlights how the company transformed into a technology-driven, omnichannel giant combining e-commerce, data analytics, and advanced logistics. Strong long-term stock performance and investor confidence fueled the rise. Walmart’s inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 in December 2025 further reflected its evolution beyond traditional retail.
