Retail Giant Reports 4.1% Revenue Increase, Raises Dividend by 13%<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Walmart (WMT) reported a strong fourth quarter, with revenue rising 4.1% year-over-year to $180.6 billion, or 5.3% in constant currency (cc). Operating income outpaced revenue growth, increasing 8.3%, or 9.4% adjusted (cc), driven by higher gross margins and expanding membership income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key highlight was Walmart\u2019s booming eCommerce segment, which grew 16% globally, fueled by store-fulfilled pickup and delivery services and its U.S. marketplace. Despite the overall strength, eCommerce growth was slightly dampened by the timing of Flipkart\u2019s Big Billion Days sales event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart\u2019s global advertising business surged 29%, with Walmart Connect in the U.S. climbing 24%. The company also completed its acquisition of Vizio, further strengthening its digital advertising and streaming presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the full fiscal year, Walmart\u2019s revenue reached $681 billion, up 5.1% (5.6% cc), with operating income growing 8.6%. The company raised its dividend by 13% to $0.94 per share, marking the largest increase in over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Walmart provides its outlook for Q1 and fiscal year 2026, its focus remains on eCommerce expansion, advertising growth, and improving operational efficiencies to sustain its momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
