2,163,616 shares

Significance 6/10

Walton sells 2.16M WMT shares for $171.0M at $79.02 avg; retains 603.99M shares (99.6% of pre-trade holdings).

Jim C. Walton, a 10% owner, executed 4 separate sales totaling 2,163,616 shares for $170,979,096.42 between September 17 and September 19, 2024, with a blended average price of $79.02. This represents a 0.4% reduction in his 606.15M share position, leaving him with 603.99M shares post-transaction—a minor adjustment to holdings that occurs while WMT trades near its 52-week high ($80.60), only 3.2% above the current price of $78.04. Across his open-market history, Walton's prior 20 sells averaged +4.6% 30-day return and +16.6% 90-day return with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his historical sells have been poorly timed; his 5 most recent WMT sales (September 6, 9, 12) remain within the unmeasurable window. The magnitude ($171.0M) and near-peak pricing should be contextualized against his dominant residual stake and the stock's strong 90-day momentum (+14.9%).

Sell
934,000 shares

Significance 4/10

Jim C. Walton (10% owner) sold 934,000 shares of WMT for $74,216,570.97 across 2 transactions on 2024-09-12.

Jim C. Walton executed 2 separate sales totaling 934,000 shares for $74,216,570.97 at a blended average price of $79.46, representing a -0.2% reduction against pre-transaction holdings of 609,710,318 shares. The current price of $80.60 stands at the 52-week high with the stock up +17.4% over 30 days and +20.3% over 90 days, placing this sale in the context of strong recent momentum. Walton's cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% 90-day well-timed rate across 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +16.5%, indicating his prior open-market sales have not preceded stock declines; however, his same-ticker WMT transaction history consists of 5 recent sales (Sept 5-9) still within their measurable windows with no outcomes yet determinable. This filing reflects routine portfolio activity from a major shareholder at a large-cap company with solid fundamentals (P/E 41.76, $169.3B quarterly revenue, +6.0% annual growth).

Sell
5,746,226 shares
$442,774,830
Significance 7/10

10% owner Jim C Walton sells 5,746,226 shares for $442,774,830.09 across three transactions at Walmart

Jim C Walton, a 10% shareholder, executed three separate sales totaling 5,746,226 shares for $442,774,830.09 between September 3–9, 2024, at prices ranging from $76.70 to $77.31 with a blended average of $77.05. This represents a -0.9% reduction in his holdings, leaving him with 611,988,318 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred as WMT traded near its 52-week high of $78.81, with the stock up +16.0% over 30 days and +18.8% over 90 days, suggesting the insider sold into a period of sustained strength. While Walton's cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +14.8% after prior sells (indicating a 0.00% well-timed rate, meaning his sells have not consistently preceded declines), the recent same-ticker sales at WMT from September 3–5 have outcomes not yet measurable. The large dollar volume and timing near the 52-week high warrant investor attention, though the modest percentage reduction of holdings does not signal an exit.

Sell
9,162,767 shares
$707,149,237
Significance 6/10

10% owner Jim C Walton sold 9,162,767 shares for $707,149,237.17 across 5 transactions (Sept 3-5)

Jim C Walton, a 10% owner of Walmart, executed 5 separate sales totaling 9,162,767 shares for $707,149,237.17 at blended average price $77.18 across September 3–5, 2024. This reduced his holdings from 628,809,311 shares to 619,646,544 shares, a net decrease of 1.5%. The sales occurred near the 52-week high ($77.24), with the current price at $76.96, indicating the transactions captured near-peak pricing. However, historical context shows mixed signals: across Walton's cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells, the average 90-day return was -8.0% with a 90-day well-timed rate of 28.57%, suggesting limited predictive value; at WMT specifically, his 5 most recent prior sales (June 2024) all showed positive 30-day returns (+3.7% to +5.4%), with 0 of 0 prior WMT sales well-timed at the 90-day mark. The magnitude and structure of this multi-transaction filing warrant monitoring for any disclosed rationale, though the sale timing relative to current technical levels and company fundamentals (P/E 39.88, annual revenue growth +6.0%) does not yet constitute a clear red flag.

Significance 5/10

Walmart 10% owner Walton sells 1,994,347 shares for $132,802,640.61 across two days at $66.59 average

WALTON JIM C executed two separate sales totaling 1,994,347 shares (1.99M shares) for $132,802,640.61 on 2024-06-13 and 2024-06-14, reducing his holdings by 0.3% to 633,518,311 shares. The blended average price of $66.59 is slightly below the current price of $67.02 and well within the 52-week range. His prior trades at WMT in early June show no measurable outcomes yet, and his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells averaged -43.1% 30-day return and -38.6% 90-day return with a 66.67% well-timed rate, suggesting moderate historical effectiveness at identifying price peaks. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $161.5B in annual revenue, $5.1B net income, and 6.0% revenue growth, though the P/E of 28.52 reflects a premium valuation. This sale represents a deliberate liquidation by a major shareholder, though the modest 0.3% reduction in holdings indicates no wholesale exit signal.
