Introduction

Walmart is one of the largest retail and e-commerce companies in the world. The company operates physical stores, wholesale clubs, mobile apps, websites, fulfillment networks, and advertising platforms. Its business model is built around everyday low prices, high inventory turnover, grocery strength, and large-scale supply chain efficiency.

The company is structured around three main reporting segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and Sam's Club U.S. Walmart U.S. is the largest segment and is heavily supported by grocery, health and wellness, general merchandise, store pickup, delivery, and Walmart Marketplace.
