Nov 20 (Reuters) - Walmart WMT.N said on Thursday it would move its longtime listing on the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq, joining the tech-heavy exchange as one of its most valuable members.
The shift, scheduled for December 9, underscores the retail giant's push to become more technology-focused — from integrating artificial intelligence across operations to accelerating e-commerce growth.
For years, U.S. exchanges have fought for prominence, with Nasdaq primarily the home of the tech sector, while the NYSE traditionally anchored the country's biggest industrial and financial names.
Here are some of the major companies that have transitioned to Nasdaq from the NYSE in the past two years:
