In fiscal 2025, Walmart reported $681 billion in total revenue, equivalent to nearly $1.87 billion in sales each day. This represents a year-over-year increase of 2.8% compared with the prior fiscal period and underscores the company’s ability to leverage its broad assortment and global supply-chain efficiencies across more than 4,600 domestic stores and its growing e-commerce business.

Walmart’s operating margin expanded from 3.3% in fiscal 2023 to 4.3% in fiscal 2025, yielding $29.3 billion in operating income last year. Each 0.1 percentage-point improvement translates to roughly $681 million in additional operating profit. Key margin drivers include higher-margin initiatives such as enhanced advertising services, AI-assisted shopping tools and expanded pharmacy offerings.

Walmart elevated 3,000 pharmacy positions to team lead roles paying an average of $28 per hour, with top earners receiving up to $42 per hour, and increased technician pay potential to $40.50 per hour. Since 2016, over 22,000 associates have obtained company-sponsored pharmacy technician certification. These measures aim to bolster pharmacy leadership, improve patient care capacity and support the rollout of in-store clinical research sites this spring.

CEO Doug McMillon will retire on January 31, 2026, after a 12-year tenure marked by integration of physical and digital channels. Under his leadership, Walmart strengthened its omnichannel model—curbside pickup, same-day delivery and upgraded e-commerce—attracting higher-income households that now rate the retailer nearly as highly for convenience as for price. This shift has broadened Walmart’s customer base beyond its traditional value-focused core.
