Good morning investors, welcome to today's US stock pre-market news flash. We focus on retail giant Walmart's latest business and market movements.

In pre-market trading, Walmart (WMT.US) had a strong showing, with individual stock pre-market gains exceeding 2%, currently at $119.28. The core catalyst for this price move came from the company's drone delivery business reaching a key milestone.

Walmart officially disclosed that its drone delivery service has accumulated over 1 million orders, marking a transition from pilot to scaled commercialization for low-altitude instant delivery. The business relies on external partnerships; the company has teamed up with two drone service providers, Wing and Zipline, covering four US states with a total of 66 offline fulfillment points. It mainly delivers fresh food, daily necessities, emergency medicines, and other essential items. The industry-leading fulfillment efficiency achieves an average of 23-minute home delivery, building Walmart's differentiated short-distance fulfillment barrier.

Looking at order structure data, nearly 40% of the million deliveries were completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The short-term order volume growth rate exceeded market expectations, visually confirming that Walmart's drone air delivery business has reached an explosive growth inflection point, with low-altitude logistics landing progress accelerating. This has become an important logic for capital markets' short-term pursuit of the company's individual stock.
