Walmart shares traded higher Thursday afternoon, supported by broader market gains and growth in its delivery ecosystem following a new delivery partnership announcement.
Why it matters — The expansion of Walmart's delivery network signals continued investment in its e-commerce and delivery capabilities, a key area for the retailer.
Amazon announced a fraud-prevention offering on Wednesday, and the piece notes that fraud prevention is becoming a retail product category. Both Amazon and Walmart are said to be competing in this area, targeting the moments between a suspicious notification and a customer's response.
Why it matters — A Walmart watcher would care because Walmart is positioned as a competitor to Amazon in the emerging retail market for fraud-prevention products, which could affect how the company differentiates its offerings.
Walmart announced an expansion of its restaurant delivery service, partnering with Dunkin' to add the coffee chain to its offering. This follows the retailer's earlier partnership with Subway on deliveries in June.
Why it matters — WMT watchers would care because expanding its restaurant delivery partnerships broadens Walmart's delivery service offerings and could strengthen customer engagement through new delivery categories.
Haleon, maker of Sensodyne toothpaste, has negotiated better shelf placement at U.S. retailers including Walmart and Target to increase product visibility amid rising grocery costs affecting shopper spending.
Why it matters — WMT watchers would care because improved shelf positioning for major brands like Haleon could influence in-store visibility and retailer merchandising dynamics at Walmart.
Walmart announced a new restaurant delivery partnership, starting with deliveries from Dunkin' locations. This move positions the retailer to compete directly with delivery services like DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Why it matters — WMT watchers would care because this expands Walmart into the restaurant delivery space, potentially broadening its delivery business and competitive positioning.
