Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is the world's largest retailer by revenue, founded in 1945 by Sam Walton in Rogers, Arkansas. The company began as a single discount store and has grown into a global retail giant operating over 10,500 stores across 19 countries. Walmart went public in 1972 and has evolved from a traditional brick-and-mortar discount retailer into a comprehensive omnichannel retail ecosystem that combines physical stores with e-commerce platforms, membership programs, and digital services. The company changed its name from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. to Walmart Inc. in 2018 to reflect its transformation into a technology-enabled retailer serving customers through multiple channels.
