Roughly two thirds of the company. Revenue is comparable sales - transactions times ticket, with eCommerce contributing about 510bps of comp in 2027 Q2 - across a 4,611-unit estate that grows by a handful of stores a year. Walmart discloses no quarterly capacity or subscriber metric that mechanically generates the line, so the honest driver is deseasonalised growth anchored on disclosed comp sales and the company's own guidance.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • The 7.15% starting EBITDA margin is derived, not disclosed: FY2026 segment operating income of $25,158M plus segment D&A of $9,390M over segment net sales of $482,975M. That numerator already contains this segment's share of membership and other income, which is why the membershipOther vertical is carried at a zero margin.
  • The 158bps gross-margin gain at Walmart U.S. in 2027 Q2 is attributed by the company primarily to tariff refunds, and the release says those refunds are being reinvested into price in the second half. It is not extrapolated here; the margin starts at the FY2026 level and glides 45bps over five years.
  • Operating expense deleveraged 72bps in 2027 Q2 on claims expense, depreciation and associate healthcare. Unlike the refunds that is a recurring cost line, and it is one reason the terminal margin assumption is deliberately slow.
