Walton family selling meets institutional accumulation in Walmart shares
Walmart: Insiders Cash Out, Funds Buy
Recent filings show significant insider activity at Walmart, with a Walton family holdings trust and the Walton Family Trust selling roughly $160 million and 1.72 million shares, respectively, as the stock trades near its 52-week high after a strong run. A Walmart director also sold 19,416 shares under a pre-set 10b5-1 trading plan. At the same time, institutional investors such as KANAWHA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC and K.J. Harrison & Partners Inc are adding to or initiating positions, betting on the company’s revenue growth and FY 2027 earnings guidance. The split between family/insider selling and institutional buying highlights differing time horizons and portfolio objectives around Walmart’s current valuation.
