      I can confirm that the US version is the same. I can't believe anyone would use it.

      I worked for Walmart for 6 months before I quit. Haven't set foot inside one since then.

    In hitting the benchmark, the largest U.S. retailer and grocer joins an exclusive club made up almost entirely of technology companies. Shares closed nearly 3% higher at $127.71, leaving the company with a $1.02 trillion market cap at the end of Tuesday.

    Walmart's stock has climbed more than 28% in the past year, and over 14% so far in 2026. That has outpaced the roughly 15% and 1% gains in those time frames, respectively, for the S&P 500.

    The retailer's inclusion in a group heavy on tech companies illustrates much about its ambitions. Walmart has tried to grow profits faster than sales in recent years by leaning into its third-party marketplace and advertising businesses — both of which bring higher margins than its traditional brick-and-mortar operations.
