\nJohn Furner, President and CEO of Walmart Inc., provided an overview of Walmart\u2019s business model and strong FY26 results. He noted the company\u2019s omnichannel retail model continues to deliver consistent performance. By expanding higher-margin commerce solutions, the company is investing in value and convenience for customers and members, associate experience, and technology, all while strengthening its competitive position, driving sustained share gains and competitive differentiation. This unique model at scale positions the company well for sustained, long-term growth and returns to shareholders.<\/p>

\nFurner also highlighted investments made in supporting associates, including wages, benefits and opportunities to help build skills for the future, as well as how the company is leveraging AI to lead the next era of retail by providing associates with the technology and information they need to better serve customers and members.<\/p>

\n\u201cThe business has changed a lot since Sam Walton opened the first Walmart, and it has changed a lot since I started in the garden center. But what hasn\u2019t changed is that it\u2019s our people who make the difference,\u201d Furner said. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of how our associates are executing our strategy and building momentum. We are well positioned for what comes next. I\u2019ve never been more optimistic about what we can accomplish together.\u201d<\/p>
