Walmart's Ads and Marketplace Drive One-Third of Operating IncomeAI News & Trends

Walmart's Ads and Marketplace Drive One-Third of Operating Income

Walmart's advertising and online marketplace may now make up about a third of its operating income, according to recent reports and company comments. Advertising revenue grew 27 percent in fiscal 2024, while the third-party marketplace saw almost 50 percent growth in goods sold. Most items on Walmart.com now come from external sellers, helped by steps like easier onboarding and more support services. Analysts suggest this shift gives Walmart higher profit margins, but there are concerns about risks like fraud and competition with Amazon. It appears future profit may keep rising from these areas if growth continues and Walmart manages risks well.

HR adopts behavioral data for AI workforce planning, skill mapping

HR teams may start using behavioral data - like digital footprints from daily work - to plan for AI changes and skill needs by 2026. Early evidence from companies like IBM and Walmart suggests this data can help map real skills and make staffing decisions more accurate. Experts warn that strong rules and employee trust are needed to use this data safely, such as clear policies and human review for important choices. Personalized learning and reskilling may happen more often, but questions about fairness and privacy still remain. Ethical safeguards appear to be essential for these new HR practices to work well.

Starlink revenue hits $11.4 billion, drives SpaceX IPO valuation

Starlink made about $11.4 billion in revenue in 2025, which may be around 61 percent of SpaceX's total income. Reports suggest Starlink is now the main part of SpaceX's business and the only part making a profit, while other segments like launches and AI appear to be losing money. Starlink's user numbers reportedly grew fast, reaching over 10 million by early 2026 and making up most of the global satellite internet use. SpaceX plans to go public in June 2026, and analysts suggest that Starlink's steady income and profit may be key reasons for a high company value, though there could be changes if rules or competition shift.

US Businesses Urge Congress: Increase Visas, Fix Shortages

US business leaders are asking Congress to raise the number of work visas and make it easier for temporary workers to stay, saying this might help with worker shortages and keep the economy strong. The National Immigration Forum suggests that current visa limits and backlogs leave companies struggling to find enough workers, especially as fewer people are joining the workforce. Some experts estimate that lower immigration could slow economic growth and reduce consumer spending. Surveys suggest most business leaders view skilled immigrants as helpful, and many think delays in the current system already cause problems. The Forum also says helping workers' families join them may help keep employees and reduce sudden project delays.

Tiger Data unveils Ghost: Postgres for AI agents with unlimited databases

Tiger Data has released Ghost, a new service built on PostgreSQL for AI agents that may need many quick, disposable databases. Ghost appears to let agents create, copy, and remove databases very fast, which could help with experiments and saving costs. The service keeps support for PostgreSQL extensions but changes how agents find and use databases through a tool called Model Context Protocol (MCP). Some reports suggest this approach could make testing and setup much faster, possibly reducing hours of work to just minutes. There is uncertainty about how these new features will affect everyday use and pricing, but Ghost may attract attention as more AI tools need flexible data solutions.

Meta's Rivos Acquisition Reveals AI Chip Cost-Saving Strategy

Meta's planned purchase of Rivos may help it make custom AI chips faster and at lower long-term costs than buying GPUs from other companies. Reports suggest custom chips might save money on electricity and give Meta more control, especially as U.S. rules make buying advanced GPUs harder. Custom chips can take two to four years to build and cost a lot at first, but could be cheaper if used a lot. However, using off-the-shelf GPUs is quicker and more flexible for changing needs. The best choice may depend on how much the chips are used, power costs, and changing government rules.
