Walmart reports $187.9 billion in quarterly revenue as ecommerce and advertising accelerate

In an earnings-call transcript published Aug. 27, Walmart said revenue reached $187.9 billion, with global ecommerce rising 23% and advertising sales up 38%, underscoring growth from both online shopping and retailer media.

Walmart told investors in its quarterly earnings-call comments that revenue totaled $187.9 billion, pointing to continued scale in its core retail business even as the company leans harder into online and higher-margin revenue streams.

According to the transcript published Aug. 27, Walmart reported 23% global ecommerce growth. Ecommerce growth is a key metric for the retailer because it reflects how much of consumer demand is shifting online and how efficiently Walmart can move shoppers from digital browsing to online orders and delivery.

The company also highlighted a sharp rise in advertising revenue, describing a 38% increase. Advertising, in this context, refers to brands paying to promote products across Walmart’s digital channels, including sponsored listings and other retail media formats that Walmart and other large retailers use to monetize traffic beyond selling merchandise.

Taken together, the ecommerce and advertising figures suggest Walmart is working to diversify revenue beyond traditional store-based sales. For investors, retailer media performance can matter because it can expand alongside traffic growth while often carrying different economics than pure product sales.

Walmart’s scale gives it significant leverage in both areas. A larger customer base can support more digital engagement, which in turn can make advertising inventory more valuable to consumer brands. Similarly, steady ecommerce expansion can reinforce Walmart’s ability to offer delivery and pickup options at a competitive pace.

Still, the disclosed figures in the transcript post are limited to headline growth indicators. The company did not provide, in the excerpt available here, additional breakdowns such as regional performance, segment-level margin trends, or how much of advertising growth came from specific advertising products.

For market watchers, the key question going forward is whether Walmart can sustain rapid advertising growth alongside ecommerce momentum without sacrificing profitability. Another open item is how management plans to convert online engagement into repeat shopping and long-term retention, particularly as competitive pressure and delivery expectations evolve.

Investors will likely focus next on any additional detail Walmart provides about underlying demand, the durability of advertising growth, and how capital spending and costs are tracking relative to the sales and profit outlook discussed on the call.

Why It Matters

  • Walmart’s 23% ecommerce growth indicates continued shift in consumer purchasing toward online channels within the company’s footprint.
  • A 38% jump in advertising suggests Walmart is monetizing its retail traffic more aggressively, a segment that can support diversified revenue streams.
  • If ecommerce and advertising both remain strong, Walmart’s overall results may become less dependent on in-store volume alone.
  • The sustainability of double-digit growth rates is likely to be a central theme in subsequent updates, especially around margins and cost discipline.
