Oracle Corporation (ORCL) vs Walmart Inc. (WMT)

Oracle Corporation delivers enterprise applications and infrastructure solutions through flexible IT deployment models, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Founded in 1977, Oracle introduced the first commercial SQL-based relational database management system, widely used by many of the world’s largest enterprises for high-volume online transaction processing. In addition to its database products, Oracle offers enterprise resource planning platforms and cloud infrastructure that are becoming increasingly important for large language model training and inference.

Founded in 1962, Walmart Inc. has grown into the world’s largest retailer, operating more than 10,700 stores worldwide, including about 4,600 Walmart locations in the United States and roughly 600 Sam’s Club warehouses, while continuing to expand its e-commerce business. The company serves around 270 million customers each week and generated over $680 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue. Walmart’s operations are organized into three reporting segments: Walmart U.S., which accounted for 68% of fiscal 2025 sales, Walmart International at 18%, and Sam’s Club at 14%. In the U.S., nearly 60% of Walmart’s $465 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue came from grocery sales, with about one-quarter generated by general merchandise. Internationally, the company’s business is primarily concentrated in Mexico, with additional emerging exposure to India.
