Take that Amazon and Google and all the rest of you entitled Magnificent Seven: You’ve got a new trillionaire member, and it’s not another tech bro AI and agentic wannabe. This week the value of Walmart topped $1 trillion, putting it in an elite class of American companies that are valued at all those zeroes. Walmart is the first traditional retailer ever to hit this mark. To put it into perspective, Walmart is worth more than Costco, Home Depot and Target —combined. It’s a stunning affirmation of how The Boys from Bentonville have truly become a class of one in the retail sector. And it’s a generous goodbye gift from Doug McMillon to John Furner as he takes the helm with aspirations to no doubt push that number higher.
