Walmart stock today: WMT closes higher as traders eye jobs data and Walmart’s next update

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 11:51 ET — Market closed Walmart Inc. shares ended Friday up $1.34, or 1.2%, at $112.76, heading into the first full trading week of 2026 with a modest gain on the board. For investors, the retailer is a quick read on the U.S. consumer because it sits at the center of grocery spending and everyday purchases, where small shifts in demand can show up fast. That matters this week because markets are bracing for a dense run of economic reports after a 43-day U.S. government shutdown disrupted the release schedule. U.S. employment data is due

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. MarketWatch The move matters because the first session of January often sets the tone for early-year positioning, especially in large, liquid stocks. Walmart is widely used by investors as a gauge of value-focused U.S. consumer demand. For Walmart, the near-term question is whether shoppers keep prioritizing essentials and lower prices as investors recalibrate expectations for growth and interest rates.

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

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

Walmart stock slips after hours as fresh insider filings and app outage hit the tape — what’s next for WMT

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:58 PM ET — After-hours Walmart Inc. shares were down about 0.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, extending a modest decline into the close of the year’s final session as investors weighed fresh insider disclosures and a recent digital outage. The timing matters because Walmart heads into 2026 after a strong 2025 run, leaving investors sensitive to any signals that management is trimming exposure or that key systems are vulnerable during peak shopping windows. The broader backdrop was also unsupportive. Wall Street’s major indexes ended 2025 lower in thin holiday trading, and “I do not
