As one of the largest retailers in the world, Walmart certainly has its fair share of subsidiaries and partnerships. One such subsidiary is Asda, a UK-based supermarket chain that Walmart acquired in 1999. Since then, Walmart has continued to own and operate Asda, though there have been rumors in recent years that the retail giant might sell its stake in the company.
However, as of 2019, Walmart still owns Asda. The company has made it clear that it has no plans to sell its stake in the supermarket chain, and it seems likely that Walmart will continue to own Asda for the foreseeable future.
So there you have it – as of right now, Walmart still owns Asda. This could change in the future, but for now, it seems that the two companies will remain partnered up.
