Walmart has reported impressive financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2025, with significant growth in revenue and operating income. The global retail giant’s consolidated revenue grew by 4.8%, totaling $169.3 billion, while operating income increased by 8.5%, thanks to improved gross margins and reduced eCommerce losses. The company’s strategic focus on enhancing digital services is paying off, as its global eCommerce sales surged by 21%, driven by robust demand for store-fulfilled pickup, delivery, and marketplace services.
Walmart’s advertising division, particularly its U.S. arm Walmart Connect, also saw remarkable growth, expanding by 30%. This highlights the company’s successful integration of digital advertising and retail services, further cementing its position as a tech-powered omnichannel retailer.
The company also announced that Bob Moritz, the retired chair of PwC, would be joining its board of directors, signaling Walmart’s commitment to strong corporate governance and strategic leadership. The retailer continues to lead in sustainability efforts, corporate responsibility, and offering employment opportunities, with over 2.1 million associates globally.
With Walmart’s competitive pricing and expanding digital footprint, the company remains a leader in the retail sector, serving around 255 million customers weekly across 19 countries
