Walmart has officially reached a $1 trillion market capitalization, becoming the first traditional retailer to achieve this milestone. The company’s stock price surged past $126 per share during trading on Tuesday (February 3), pushing Walmart’s total market value just above the trillion-dollar mark. This historic moment places Walmart alongside a select group of primarily technology-focused giants such as Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Broadcom, Tesla, and Berkshire Hathaway.
Walmart’s achievement is fueled by strong stock performance in recent months, which analysts attribute to the company’s growth in online sales, investments in automation, and increasing use of artificial intelligence to improve efficiency. Walmart’s ability to offer low prices has attracted shoppers across all income levels, while its digital services, including Walmart+, which grew by about 2.6 million members between November 2025 and January 2026, are drawing more affluent customers.
Walmart’s same-day delivery now reaches about 95% of U.S. households, boosting its e-commerce reach. This expansion comes just weeks after the retailer joined the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 Index, reflecting its growing influence beyond brick-and-mortar stores.
Despite the dominance of technology companies at the top of the global market cap rankings, Walmart stands out for its leadership in retail revenue, with annual sales exceeding $700 billion.
