US$1,000 invested in Walmart Inc. on November 5, 2021, would have grown to US$2,746 by November 4, 2026.
That’s a hypothetical total return of 174.6% over five years, before fees and tax. The calculation uses adjusted closing prices, which include dividends. No other amounts were added. Walmart’s adjusted close rose from US$47.04 to US$129.17 over the period.
Investor takeaway: Walmart shares delivered a strong historical return over these five years. But this result covers only the dates shown and says nothing about future returns.

Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.
US$1,000 became US$2,746
From November 5, 2021, to November 4, 2026, a hypothetical lump-sum investment returned 174.6%, or 22.4% annualized. The calculation uses adjusted closing prices and excludes fees and tax.
Bull case
Walmart’s adjusted share price rose substantially over this five-year period. The company’s Consumer Staples classification provides context for its business, but it doesn’t explain or determine the investment return.
Bear case
This result applies only to the dates shown. The share price could have performed differently over another period. The snapshot’s trailing P/E of 45.2 is a separate valuation measure and wasn’t used to calculate the return.
The five-year Walmart calculation
A hypothetical US$1,000 investment in Walmart Inc. on November 5, 2021, would have been worth US$2,746 on November 4, 2026. This estimate is before fees and tax and uses adjusted closing prices, which include dividends. It assumes you invested the full amount at the start and held it for five years, rather than making regular contributions.
Walmart’s adjusted close was US$47.04 at the start of the period and US$129.17 at the end. That works out to a total return of 174.6% and an annualized return of 22.4%. These figures describe the past performance over the dates shown, not a forecast. For more company information, see our Walmart stock page.
What the return did and didn’t show
The calculation shows how Walmart’s adjusted share price performed during this particular five-year period. It doesn’t show how an investment would have performed with a different start date, and it doesn’t account for fees or tax. Dividends are included in the adjusted-price series; no separate dividend amount was added.
The snapshot lists Walmart as a US-listed Consumer Staples company, with a market capitalization of US$1,024.8 billion and a trailing P/E of 45.2. The P/E is a separate valuation measure and wasn’t part of the historical return calculation. See the Walmart stock profile for more company details.
