NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:59 ET — Market closed Amazon.com (AMZN.O) shares ended Friday down 1.9% at $226.50, slipping on the first trading day of 2026 even as the broader market steadied.

Walmart stock rises 1.2% to start 2026 — what investors are watching next for WMT

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 19:29 ET — After-hours Walmart Inc (WMT) shares closed up $1.35, or 1.21%, at $112.76 on Friday and were unchanged in after-hours trading, the session after the 4 p.m. close when stocks can still change hands.

Walmart stock draws fresh buy talk for 2026 as e-commerce growth narrows Amazon gap

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 10:42 ET Walmart shares traded around $111.56 on Friday morning, little changed as fresh investor commentaries kept attention on the retailer’s online push and expanding profit streams. The debate matters at the start of 2026 as investors look for companies that can hold up if shoppers stay price-conscious, while still posting growth in digital sales. Walmart’s scale gives it room to gain share across groceries, general merchandise and delivery. Walmart has leaned into “omnichannel” retailing — selling through stores and online — and the story has increasingly centered on whether it can grow e-commerce profitably
