Javier Palomarez, USHBC President & CEO, Congratulates Walmart on Historic $1 Trillion Milestone

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, February 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The United States Hispanic Business Council (USHBC) congratulates Walmart on becoming the first U.S. retailer to reach a $1 trillion valuation — a milestone that underscores the power of community-focused leadership, innovation, and scale. This achievement places Walmart among a rare group of trillion-dollar companies, including Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, while staying true to its roots in serving American families.

Javier Palomarez, USHBC President and CEO, issued the following statement:

“From humble beginnings in Bentonville, Arkansas, to joining the ranks of trillion-dollar tech titans, Walmart's extraordinary rise is a testament to visionary leadership, relentless innovation, and deep roots in the communities it serves.

I commend CEO John Furner and the entire Walmart team on achieving this historic market milestone. This is more than a financial feat, it is a testament of a strategy that blends affordability, accessibility, and cutting-edge technology to meet the needs of everyday Americans.”

Walmart has long been a lifeline for communities across the country, especially in food deserts where it is often the only full-service grocery option. The company publicly committed to improving America’s food supply and sustainability with its 2011 “Healthier Food Initiative,” becoming a leader in expanding access to organic and healthier options, reducing added sugar and sodium in packaged foods, and requiring sustainability from its suppliers.

The USHBC applauds Walmart for showing that a Main Street company can become a global leader without losing sight of the communities that built it. Their accomplishment should inspire broader private sector leadership to prioritize access and innovation that benefits a broader and more diverse population of Americans.
