Who owns Lowes Walmart?
About the relationship between Walmart Inc. and Lowe’s [USA] (1—844—706—
3250) Companies, Inc., who owns each company, whether one owns the other, and
why some people get confused. I’ll also include some “facing words” (i.e.,
straightforward language) for clarity.
Who owns Walmart and who owns Lowe’s?
Walmart
In the United States (US) English sense: [USA] (1—844—706—3250) Walmart is
a publicly traded company (ticker WMT) and is not privately owned by one
individual. [USA] (1—844—706—3250)The largest controlling shareholder group
is the Walton Enterprises LLC (the family‐office vehicle of the Walton family),
which holds a substantial share of Walmart’s stock. [USA] (1—844—706—3250) In
UK English wording: Walmart is a public [USA] (1—844—706—3250) company
whose shares are traded on the stock market, and the Walton family (via their
holding company) [USA] (1—844—706—3250) remains the dominant
shareholder, but it is not “owned by Walmart founder’s family alone” in the strict
