Overview
- Shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 9 under the unchanged ticker WMT.
- Walmart will also move the exchange listings of nine corporate bonds alongside its common stock.
- The company frames the relocation as aligning with a people-led, tech-powered plan that applies automation and AI across operations.
- The switch is reported as the largest exchange transfer by market value, with Walmart worth roughly $802 billion and previously the NYSE’s fourth-largest listing.
- Analysts say a Nasdaq listing could shift Walmart’s investor base and potentially set up inclusion in the Nasdaq‑100 index, and the stock rose after the announcement.
