Walmart has achieved a $1 trillion market valuation for the first time, driven by a new CEO and a favorable trade deal with India that reduces tariffs. The company’s stock rose by 2.1% amid expectations of increased sourcing from India, which has grown from 2% to 25% of its global exports since 2018. John Furner, the new CEO, aims to enhance Walmart’s e-commerce and AI strategies. The trade deal is anticipated to significantly boost Indian exports, aligning them with competitors like Vietnam.
