Walmart and Alphabet‘s drone unit Wing struck a deal to expand Walmart’s drone delivery service across the United States. The partners plan more than 270 drone delivery sites by 2027, aiming to serve over 40 million Americans.
New service areas will include Los Angeles, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Miami. (Ed. note: Walmart said more locations will be announced soon.)
“Drone delivery plays an important role in our ability to deliver what customers want, exactly when they want it.” said Greg Cathey, senior vice president of Digital Fulfillment Transformation at Walmart.
Wing began in Google’s labs in 2012 and became an independent Alphabet business in 2018. On Monday, Walmart shares rose nearly 4%, while Alphabet‘s stock moved up a fraction of a percent.
Walmart has shown early strength in 2025 and will join the Nasdaq-100 Index. The stock is up about 6% year-to-date, and analysts at BTIG initiated a buy rating with a $120 price target while Tigress Financial projects $130.
