Walmart stock reflects the scale of Walmart Inc. (ISIN US9311421039), which reported $681.0 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue and $19.4 billion in operating income while ending the year with a market capitalization of $648.1 billion as of 10 August 2026.
Revenue tops $681.0 billion
Fiscal 2025 revenue reached $681.0 billion, up from $648.1 billion in the prior year, a gain of $32.9 billion that shows how large the base has become.
Operating income increased to $19.4 billion in fiscal 2025, compared with $18.6 billion in fiscal 2024, while adjusted earnings per share reached $2.51 for the year.
Margin and earnings matter
The comparison is more useful than the absolute size: revenue grew 5.1% year over year, and operating income rose by $0.8 billion, which points to a business that is still expanding at scale.
For a retailer of this size, the margin path now matters as much as top-line growth, because even a small change in operating income can move billions of dollars in annual profit.
Walmart revenue and margin details
The latest fiscal-year figures show how Walmart is balancing scale, earnings, and capital intensity.
Fiscal 2025 in numbers
Net income attributable to Walmart was $19.4 billion in fiscal 2025, while adjusted earnings per share of $2.51 gives investors a clean reference point for the year.
The annual report also shows the scale of cash generation and spending: capital expenditures were $17.1 billion in fiscal 2025, after $15.7 billion in fiscal 2024.
Retail scale still defines it
Walmart operates as a mass-market retailer with a broad U.S. and international footprint, and that scale helps explain why revenue and profit changes matter even when the growth rate is modest.
Walmart stock and market value
Walmart stock was associated with a market capitalization of $648.1 billion as of 10 August 2026, giving the company one of the largest equity valuations in global retail.
The combination of $681.0 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue, $19.4 billion in operating income, and a $648.1 billion market value frames the stock as a scale-and-margin story rather than a single-catalyst name.
