Walmart Joins Nasdaq 100, Expands Drone Delivery and AI Shopping Push
Walmart's stock rallied after it was announced to join the Nasdaq 100 index on Jan 20, 2026, replacing AstraZeneca due to lagging vaccine-related sales. The company also plans to expand drone delivery to about 150 more stores (270 total) via Wing and Zipline, and to roll out Google Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT for shopping. TipRanks shows WMT as a Strong Buy with a $125.75 price target (~9.8% upside), with shares up about 25% over the past year.
