Recent News on Wal Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT)
With a week to go before Christmas, division CEO Raul Vazquez says Walmart.com's holiday sales are growing two or three times faster than Web sales overall.
At that pace -- and with 22 percent growth so far this year -- the world's largest retailer is coming closer to dominating the Web the way it does cities and towns across the U.S. That would mean eventually dethroning online retail leader Amazon.com, whose sales hit $19.17 billion in the 2008 calendar year.
And that's precisely Vazquez's plan. Walmart.com already controls nearly 8 percent of online holiday retail traffic, behind only Amazon.com, which has 15 percent this year, according to Experian Hitwise, a Web traffic measuring firm that monitors visits to 500 merchants' sites.
Walmart.com -- which in October started selling such personal-care products as diapers, beauty items and over-the-counter medication -- has about 1.5 million offerings, including nearly 1 million that outside retailers sell through it. That's about 10 times more goods than a typical Walmart store.
Amazon's sales still dwarf those at Walmart.com, which doesn't report its results independently from the $400 billion in overall revenue at parent Wal-Mart Stores Inc.; Vice Chairman Eduardo Castro-Wright has said Wal-Mart's online business generates several billion dollars a year.
But Vazquez said Walmart.com's growth has topped Amazon's by 1.4 percentage points in the first three quarters this year, though he declined to offer a specific sales figure. Amazon.com's sales rose 20.3 percent in the nine months that ended in September, which implies that Walmart.com's rose 21.7 percent for the nine months that ended in October. Vazquez said traffic to Walmart.com's book and DVD section more than doubled after he launched a highly publicized price war over top-selling books in October and then DVDs in early November that sent competitors like Target.com and Amazon scrambling to match its prices.
