Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, who started his career unloading trailers and was rejected by top business schools, shares three key tips for success: live in the moment, align your job with your passions, and trust and believe in people.
Walmart announced a three-for-one stock split to make purchasing shares more accessible for employees and investors, with each old share becoming equal to three shares and the price per share becoming cheaper. Over 40,000 employees participate in the company's stock purchase plan, and shareholders will receive a distribution of two additional shares for each share held. The stock split will be payable after market close on Feb. 23 for shareholders of record at the close of business the day before. Walmart's CEO, Doug McMillon, stated that the decision reflects the company's growth and future plans, including the development and enhancement of hundreds of stores over the next five years, creating job opportunities in various communities across the U.S.
