Walmart’s grocery and essentials segment accounted for over 50% of total revenue in fiscal 2025, with grocery sales reaching $276 billion and Sam’s Club contributing an additional $59 billion. The company’s Neighborhood Markets, Supercenters and Sam’s Club locations ensure that low-cost, repeat purchases remain a stable foundation, even as inflationary pressures influence consumer behavior.

In its latest quarter, Walmart’s e-commerce revenue grew by 27% year over year, reflecting the success of its omnichannel strategy. With 90% of the U.S. population living within ten miles of a Walmart store, the company leverages its physical footprint as fulfillment hubs for same-day pickup and delivery, narrowing the gap with online-only competitors in speed and customer convenience.

Walmart Connect, the retailer’s in-house advertising arm, recorded 33% revenue growth in the U.S. during the latest quarter. Launched in 2021 after rebranding its media group, Walmart Connect is on track to become a multibillion-dollar profit center, capitalizing on first-party shopper data to offer targeted digital and in-store ad solutions that deliver higher margins than core retail operations.

Operating in 19 countries, Walmart runs more than 3,000 stores in Mexico and over 400 in Canada, while its majority stake in India’s Flipkart positions the company for further global growth. The potential public listing of Flipkart could unlock significant shareholder value, and expansion in markets such as Chile, China and the U.K. continues to diversify revenue streams beyond the U.S. base.
