Walmart became the first retailer to reach a $1 trillion market valuation on Tuesday, driven by a strong rally that has lifted its shares nearly 26 percent over the past year, according to Reuters.
The Bentonville, Arkansas based company has benefited from higher-income shoppers seeking convenience, faster deliveries, and a wider range of discretionary products such as clothing and furniture.
Over the past decade, Walmart stock has surged 468 percent, far outpacing the broader market.

The milestone comes as many U.S. households face pressure from inflation, tariffs, and a cooling job market. Walmart’s focus on value and efficiency has helped it capture consumer spending during this period.
The company recently joined the Nasdaq-100 and has invested heavily in artificial intelligence and supply chain automation.
Analysts say those investments are improving margins, speeding deliveries, and positioning Walmart as a major force in retail technology.
