Walmart WMT -0.15%decrease; red down pointing triangle is paying $1.4 billion to purchase a French advertising-technology firm, according to people familiar with the matter, investing heavily to continue its efforts to compete with Amazon for new advertising revenue streams.
On Tuesday Walmart announced it would buy Vibe.co, a company that enables advertising through connected televisions, particularly focused on small and medium-size advertisers that often have smaller budgets and less access to large ad-buying teams. Two years ago Walmart purchased connected-TV maker Vizio, in large part to expand the number of platforms where it could sell advertising.
Vibe.co’s technology will enable that growth, the company said in a release Tuesday. Walmart aims to help more advertisers launch connected-TV campaigns and better measure their business impact, the company said in a statement. The announcement didn’t include the terms of the deal.
The deal includes a $1.2 billion cash payout to Vibe.co, in addition to around $180 million paid to Vibe’s top executives after the deal closes that requires them, in part, to stay on at Walmart for four years, said some of the people familiar with the situation. Vibe.co Chief Executive Arthur Querou and Chief Technology Officer Franck Tetzlaff, as well as other staff, will join Walmart’s advertising unit “to help maintain business momentum, support a seamless integration, and continue serving Vibe.co’s advertisers,” Walmart said.
The Vibe.co acquisition is Walmart’s largest since it purchased Vizio for $2.3 billion in 2024. It’s since made Vizio a store brand and integrated Vizio’s operating system into its existing store-brand TVs. The deal this week is another sign that Walmart executives plan to invest heavily to increase the retailer’s advertising business.
Walmart has grown its advertising revenue steadily in recent years, but it’s still smaller than Amazon’s massive ad business.
