Walmart

Walmart is a global retail and e-commerce group that has recently accelerated its adoption of AI, agentic commerce, warehouse automation and digital store technology while restructuring its technology teams to improve operating efficiency. Its open AI agent Sparky, Marketplace growth, expansion into healthcare payments and continuous care, and OnePay’s broader cryptocurrency support show that the company continues to push into new business areas. Key issues to watch include the results of its AI transformation, competition with Amazon, and controversies involving dynamic pricing, layoffs and regulation.
