 Walmart Inc. said Mark Lore, chief executive of the retail giant's U.S. e-commerce division, will retire at the end of January after more than four years in the role. Walmart's stock fell 1.3% in premarket trading. Lore joined Walmart in September 2016, after the company acquired Jet.com e-commerce site, of which Lore was founder and CEO. Walmart said Lore will serve as a strategic advisor to Walmart through September 2021. In the fiscal third quarter, Walmart said e-commerce sales rose 79% above year-ago levels, while rival Target Corp. reported digital comparable-store sales growth of 155% during the same quarter. Walmart's stock has advanced 27.5% over the past 12 months through Thursday, while Target shares have run up 69.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 6.8%.
