Overview
Walmart is the world’s largest retailer by revenue, with enormous scale in groceries and general merchandise. Its edge is a low-cost supply chain that lets it offer everyday low prices that smaller rivals struggle to match.
The modern story is its pivot to e-commerce, advertising, and membership — higher-margin businesses bolted onto its store base. The central debate is whether it can keep growing profits while defending its low-price promise against Amazon.
