I've been tracking Walmart for, let's just say, a long time. Oh how I wish I invested in a few shares of WMT stock when I wrote the first-of-its-kind Walmart Supercenter Outlook report back in the day. 💡 If I did, there's no way I'm sitting here sharing out the retailer's latest earnings😜 but here you go... Walmart Q4 / FYE highlights: ➡️ Total revenue of $173B in Q4 (+5.7% yoy) and $641B for the year (+6%) ➡️ Walmart's global eCommerce sales grew 23% in Q4, pushing it past the $100B mark. Its eComm business alone makes it a Top 10 US retailer! ➡️ Even Walmart US store comps (ex fuel) were up 4% in Q4 and a remarkable 5.6% for the year. ➡️ Walmart's global ad business (aka #retailmedia) was the fastest growing segment, +33% in Q4 and +28% for the year! Not a bad year at all! Link to the full release posted in the comments.

Walmart landed on top for onsite media impressions, meaning it has better monetized its owned properties. These findings come as retail media networks are pushing harder into offsite media to tap into additional revenue streams.

Walmart Q4 results: 💵 Total sales: +5.6% 🇺🇸 Walmart US sales: +3.4% 🥫 Walmart US comps: +4.0% 🌎 International: +17.6% 📉 Net income: -12.4% Very solid results from Walmart, especially as it laps tough prior year numbers. However, it's evident that growth continues to moderate as disinflation creeps in. That's why Walmart is looking to bolster its fortunes through new stores, improved general merchandise, and boosting the Walmart Connect advertising business. As part of the advertising push, Walmart has agreed to buy Vizio to further accelerate its Walmart Connect business - for $11.50 per share in cash, equating to a fully diluted equity value of approximately $2.3 billion. #retail #Walmart #economy #advertising

Walmart just released their Q2 Earnings. Walmart Connect registered 26% growth in the US, 24% globally. Interestingly they noted a 50% growth in Marketplace advertisers pointing to a strategy of growing the long tail. Walmart Connect is now worth a staggering $3BN of revenue to Walmart and making up a significant chunk of their EBIT. But it's not just a Walmart / US thing. The long tail's been a focus of ours for some time too especially as thewarehouse.co.nz embraced a marketplace strategy in the last 12 months. But we're pushing it further than just Marketplace. We've opened up our stores and online inventory for selected non-endemic advertisers (brands we don't sell) and brought them closer to NZ consumers than ever before on our digital in store screens. It's been awesome seeing a brand like Disney+ in a Warehouse store! If you're interested in getting your brand on our screens and in front of over 4.6M people a month, drop us a line at marketmedia@twgroup.co.nz and let's chat.

Walmart is now #allegedly in talks to acquire Vizio! From a Walmart Connect perspective this is clear win, adding unique data and inventory sources will only bolster their advertising offering and their desire to compete with Amazon. However, this decision goes far beyond just an advertising decision. An acquisition of Vizio means a MAJOR shakeup to the merchants within ETS. And how those new businesses are being integrated will be a challenge of great scale for that team. Just as Walmart and Walmart Connect are blurring the lines between the merchant and advertising desk, this decision only furthers the truth that all retail marketing will become Omni Marketing. #walmart #vizio #CIQ
