Walmart is in preliminary talks to buy insurer Humana, according to people familiar with the matter, a deal that would mark a dramatic shift for the retail behemoth and the latest in a recent flurry of big deals in health-care services.
It wasn’t clear what terms the companies may be discussing, and there is no guarantee they will strike a deal. If they do, the deal would be big: Humana currently has a market value of about $37 billion.
Walmart, which in addition to being the world’s biggest retailer is also a big drugstore operator, has a market value of about $260 billion
