How Walmart reports its numbers
Walmart’s financial year ends on 31 January. So “fiscal 2026” (FY26) runs from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2026, which is mostly calendar year 2025. This is the most common reason figures look wrong on other websites.
| Walmart fiscal year | Starts | Ends | Mostly covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 1 Feb 2024 | 31 Jan 2025 | Calendar 2024 |
| FY2026 | 1 Feb 2025 | 31 Jan 2026 | Calendar 2025 |
| FY2027 | 1 Feb 2026 | 31 Jan 2027 | Calendar 2026 |
Two terms also matter. Net sales is money from goods and services sold. Total revenues is net sales plus membership and other income ($6.75bn in FY26). Walmart’s headline figure of $713.2bn is total revenues; net sales were $706.4bn.
Walmart revenue and profit
Revenue has grown every year. Between FY22 and FY26 it rose by about 24.5%, which is roughly 5.6% a year. Growth in FY26 was 4.7%.
| Fiscal year | Total revenues | Net sales | Operating income |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2022 | $572.754bn | $567.762bn | $25.942bn |
| FY2023 | $611.289bn | $605.881bn | $20.428bn |
| FY2024 | $648.125bn | $642.637bn | $27.012bn |
| FY2025 | $680.985bn | $674.538bn | Check FY2026 10-K |
| FY2026 | $713.163bn | $706.413bn | $29.825bn |
In FY26, Walmart kept about 4.2% of revenue as operating income and about 3.1% as consolidated net income. Net income attributable to Walmart shareholders was $21.893bn, because part of the profit belongs to minority owners of some subsidiaries. If you want a plain explanation of how revenue differs from profit, see the financial aspects of starting and running a business.
Latest quarter: in Q2 FY27 (to 31 July 2026), Walmart reported revenue of $187.937bn and operating income of $9.383bn. The next results are due on 19 November 2026.
Walmart sales by segment
Walmart reports three segments. Walmart U.S. is by far the biggest, bringing in more than two-thirds of net sales.
| Segment | FY2024 net sales | FY2025 net sales | FY2026 net sales | FY2026 operating income |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walmart U.S. | $441.817bn | $462.415bn | $482.975bn | $25.158bn |
| Walmart International | $114.641bn | $121.885bn | $130.423bn | See 10-K |
| Sam’s Club U.S. | $86.2bn | $90.2bn | $93.0bn | $1.822bn |
How many stores does Walmart have?
Walmart had 10,955 stores and clubs on 31 January 2026, and 11,000 on 31 July 2026. The two numbers do not clash. They are simply counted on different dates. Note that 11,000 is the global total. The United States has about 5,200 units.
| U.S. format | Units (31 July 2026) |
|---|---|
| Supercenters | 3,569 |
| Discount stores | 351 |
| Neighborhood Markets | 674 |
| Small formats | 21 |
| Walmart U.S. total | 4,615 |
| Sam’s Club U.S. | 602 |
| Walmart International | 5,783 |
| Global total | 11,000 |
Keeping thousands of shops stocked takes a huge distribution network, the same job that third-party logistics providers do for smaller firms.
How many people work at Walmart?
Walmart employed about 2.1 million associates worldwide at the end of FY26, including about 1.6 million in the U.S. “Associate” is Walmart’s word for employee. Both numbers are approximate and include part-time staff. Walmart is widely described as the largest private employer in the U.S., but that is a company claim rather than an audited ranking.
As a rough guide, $713.163bn of revenue spread across 2.1 million associates is about $339,600 per person. Treat that as a simple ratio only, because it ignores part-time hours and the mix of businesses.
How many customers shop at Walmart?
Walmart says about 280 million customers and members visit its stores and websites each week across 19 countries. This counts visits, so someone who shops three times in a week is counted three times. It is not a count of unique shoppers, and Walmart does not publish one.
Walmart e-commerce, advertising and membership stats
Online sales are now about a fifth of Walmart’s net sales. Global e-commerce grew 24% in FY26 to about $150.4bn. The U.S. business makes up two-thirds of that.
| Digital metric | Figure | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Global advertising business | Nearly $6.4bn, up 46% (includes VIZIO) | FY2026 |
| Walmart Connect (U.S.) growth | +41% | Q4 FY2026 |
| Membership fee revenue growth | +15.1% globally | FY2026 |
| Walmart+ subscribers | Not publicly confirmed | – |
Walmart does not disclose how many people pay for Walmart+. Any number you see online is a third-party estimate. Walmart Connect sells ad space to brands on its sites and in its stores. Smaller firms can reach customers more cheaply, as these small business advertising ideas show.
Walmart International
Walmart International had $130.4bn of net sales in FY26, up about 7%, and 5,743 units in 18 countries at year end. It operates retail and online businesses in Africa, Canada, Central America, Chile, China, India and Mexico. In India, its interests include Flipkart and PhonePe. Walmart has not published ownership percentages in the sources checked here, so read the 10-K before quoting them. Trading across borders brings extra rules and costs, which our guide to the import export business explains.
Walmart vs Amazon, Costco, Target and Kroger
Fortune’s 2026 Global 500 puts Amazon first and Walmart second by revenue, ending Walmart’s 12-year run at the top. Among traditional retailers, Walmart is far larger than its rivals.
Compare these with care. Costco, Target and Kroger report net sales or total sales, and their financial years end on different dates. Amazon also earns a large share of its revenue from cloud services, so it is not a like-for-like retail comparison.
Walmart stock and dividend facts
Walmart shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker WMT. If you want a live price, check when the stock market opens first. Walmart raised its annual dividend to $0.99 per share for FY27 and announced a new $30 billion share buyback in February 2026. Market value changes every day, so use a dated quote from Nasdaq or Walmart’s investor site. This is information only, not financial advice.
