On September 3, Wal-Mart rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $109.30 USD/share, with turnover of $12.24 billion. The rebound was supported by the announcement of a new partnership with Dunkin' Donuts to launch a food delivery service integrated into Wal-Mart's app.

Under the collaboration, Wal-Mart will pilot the initiative at 150 Dunkin' locations within its stores, with plans to expand to the majority of Dunkin's over 10,000 standalone locations nationwide. The platform allows consumers to order everyday essentials alongside food and beverages in a single transaction, delivered together by Wal-Mart's logistics team.

The move comes after the stock fell over 9% on August 21 following Q2 results showing U.S. same-store sales growth at its lowest in over six years. Several analysts subsequently lowered price targets, with Deutsche Bank cutting to $113 and Wells Fargo to $120. Within the Hypermarkets & Super Centers sector, Target rose 1.07% and Dollar General gained 0.64%, while Costco dipped 0.07% and Dollar Tree fell 0.47%.
